<i>LncRNA RP11-818O24.3</i> promotes hair-follicle recovery via FGF2-PI3K/Akt signal pathway.

ABSTRACT: A previous study indicated that patients with androgenic alopecia (AGA) have significantly reduced levels of LncRNA RP11-818O24.3. This study investigates whether LncRNA RP11-818O24.3 promotes hair-follicle recovery and its possible mechanism. Hair alteration and cutaneous histopathological changes induced by testosterone propionate were observed by H&E and bromodeoxyuridinc (BrdU) stain to evaluate the therapeutic effect of LncRNA RP11-818O24.3 in C57BL/6 J mice. The cellular viability was analyzed in LncRNA RP11-818O24.3-transfected human hair-follicle stem cells (HFSCs) in vitro. The signaling pathways and pro-proliferative factors were investigated by transcriptomic gene sequencing and qRT-PCR. LncRNA RP11-818O24.3 transfection successfully recovered
