Hair follicles engage in chemosensation: Olfactory receptor OR2AT4 regulates human hair growth

ABSTRACT: Olfactory receptors (OR) regulate physiological cell functions beyond olfaction. Here, we show that human hair follicle (HF) epithelium engages in chemosensation: it expresses OR2AT4, whose stimulation by a synthetic sandalwood odorant (prolongs hair growth (anagen) ex vivo via increased IGF-1 production. Instead, OR2AT4-silencing inhibits hair growth. Thus, human HFs can “smell” and require OR2AT4-mediated signaling to sustain their growth, inviting novel therapeutic hair growth regulation by targeting HF chemosensation.

Genome-wide maps of histone modifications unwind in vivo chromatin states of the hair follicle lineage

Project description:Mouse hair follicles (HFs) undergo synchronized cycles. Cyclical regeneration and hair growth is fueled by stem cells (SCs). During the rest phase, the HF-SCs remain quiescent due to extrinsic inhibitory signals within the niche. As activating cues accumulate, HF-SCs become activated, proliferate, and grow downward to form transient-amplifying matrix progenitor cells. We used microarrays to detect the relative levels of global gene expression underlying the states of hair follicle stem cells and their transient-amplifying progeny before differentiation. Quiescent hair follicle stem cells (qHF-SCs), activated hair follicle stem cells (aHF-SCs) and transient-amplifying matrix cells (HF-TACs) were FACS-purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. To obtain homogeneous populations of expression profiles, we applied the FACS technique to purify SC and TACs according to their cell surface markers.

A novel Long non-coding RNA AL136131.3 inhibits hair growth through mediating glycolysis in androgen alopecia

Project description:The key pathophysiological changes in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) are limited to hair follicles (HFs) in frontal and vertex regions, except for the occipital region. To identify biological differences among HF subpopulations. Paired vertex and occipital HFs from 10 male AGA donors were collected for RNA-seq assay. Furthermore, hair follicle and cell experiments were conducted on the identified key genes to reveal their roles in AGA. Our study aimed to uncover potential lncRNA indicators for AGA and reveal the potential mechanism underlying the involvement of AL136131.3 in hair growth in AGA.

Gene expression analysis of mouse hair follicle stem cells cultured in different conditions

Project description:In mammals, organ induction occurs only during embryonic development except for hair follicles (HFs). However, HF-resident epithelial stem cells (HFSCs), which are responsible for repetitive HF regeneration, are not fully characterized. We establish in vitro culture systems that are capable of controlling the ability of HFSCs to regenerate HFs and perform microarray analysis to compare gene expression profile in different culture condition.

Î²-cateinin activation in hair follicle dermal sheath induces ectopic hair outgrowth and skin fibrosis

Project description:Dermal sheath (DS) shows potent hair inducing capability and high plasticity without leading to immuno rejection. A recent study showed a subset of DS cells, identified as hair follicle (HF) dermal stem cells, can be mobilized to regenerate DS, maintain/supply the cell number of dermal papilla (DP) and modulate hair type. However, it is unclear how Wnt/Î²-catenin signaling regulates DS cells behaviors. Here we report that activation of Î²-catenin in DS, to some extent, endows it with hair inducing ability, reprogramming HF epidermal cells to generate new outgrowth. The new formed dermal condensates (DC)/DP lying adjacent the outgrowth derives from DS and/or its progeny, and homeostasis of pre-existing HFs is disturbed. Additionally, progressive skin fibrosis is prominent in hypodermis, where the excessive activated fibroblasts at least partially originate from DS and/or its progeny. Gene expression analysis of purified DS cells revealed that 44% DC signature genes are regulated, most of which are up-regulated. We found elevated expression of several growth factors, including Noggin, Fgf7 and Fgf10, which were previously implicated in HF induction. In summary, we confirm the high plasticity of DS cells by in vivo assays and report a mechanism by which Wnt/Î²-catenin signaling controls DS cells behaviors. We prospectively isolated control and cÎex3 DS cells (YFP+ve CD34-ve ALP-ve ITGÎ±8-ve cells) from P15 dorsal skins by FACS.

Tracing the origin of hair follicle stem cells

Project description:The scRNA-seq data are an integral part of the manuscript with the above title. Using a photo-labelling technique and RamDA-seq as described in the overall design, we obtained accurate scRNA-seq data from developing hair follicles (HFs), reflecting the spatiotemporal dynamics of cellular state transition during HF morphogenesis. Single cell transcriptome analysis identified cell types, which cannot be distinguished by known makers, their signature markers, and transcriptional state changes in developing HFs. By integration of the data from single cell live imaging, our findings revealed the origin and developmental trajectories of tissue stem cells (SCs), leading to a new model of HF development and SC induction with unprecedented resolution.

Transcriptomic profiles of type I/III interferon-responsive hair follicle subsets from ROSA26YFP_Mx1 and ADAM10;ROSA26YFP_Mx1mice

Project description:Inflammation triggered by viral infections can obscure tissue function. We utilized a model of systemic anti-viral immunity and found that the ADAM10-Notch signaling axis in type I/III interferon-responsive upper hair follicles (HF) was crucial for the expression of genes that regulated skin microbiota and protected HFs and its stem cell niche from inflammatory destruction.

Expression data from human hair follicles (ex vivo) incubated with cyclosporine A and vehicle control

Project description:Since hair growth disorders can carry a major psychological burden, more effective human hair growth-modulatory agents need to be urgently developed. Here, we used the hypertrichosis-inducing immunosuppressant, cyclosporine A (CsA), as a lead compound to identify new hair growth-promoting targets. Through microarray analysis we identified the Wnt inhibitor, SFRP1, as being downregulated in the dermal papilla (DP) of CsA-treated human scalp hair follicles (HFs) ex vivo. Therefore, we further investigated the function of SFRP1 using a pharmacological approach and found that SFRP1 regulates intrafollicular canonical Wnt/β-catenin activity through inhibition of Wnt ligands in the human hair bulb. Conversely, inhibiting SFRP1 activity through the SFRP1 antagonist, WAY-316606, enhanced hair shaft production, hair shaft keratin expression and inhibited spontaneous HF regression (catagen) ex vivo. Collectively, these data (a) identify Wnt signaling as a novel, non-immune-inhibitory CsA target; (b) introduce SFRP1 as a physiologically important regulator of canonical β-catenin activity in a human (mini-)organ; and (c) demonstrate WAY-316606 to be a promising new promoter of human hair growth. Since inhibiting SFRP1 only facilitates Wnt signaling through ligands that are already present, this “ligand-limited” therapeutic strategy for promoting human hair growth may circumvent potential oncological risks associated with chronic Wnt over-activation. We used microarrays to identify novel hair growth promoting targets in human hair follicles through the use of cyclosporine A.

Establishment of adult epidermal organoid cultures from canine hair follicles and interfollicular epidermis

Project description:The epidermis and associated appendages ensure a number of critical functions necessary for survival and social interactions. Perturbations of epidermal stem cell homeostasis lead to a variety of skin diseases affecting humans and dogs. Therefore, the establishment of an in vitro system to investigate canine epidermal stem cells, representing a model for human diseases, is essential. Here we report the establishment and characterization of organoids derived from microdissected canine hair follicles (HFs) and interfollicular epidermal (IFE). Gene and protein expression analysis revealed high mRNA and protein levels of keratin 5 and 14, IFE differentiation markers and intercellular molecules (e.g., keratin 10 and desmoglein), indicating a strong basal cell signature as well as differentiation towards mature epidermis. Key markers of HF stem cells were lacking. This suggests that, independently of the tissue of origin, both organoid lines develop into the same cell type (basal IFE-like keratinocytes). Signaling pathways members important for regulation of HF growth and cycling (such as Wnt, Hh, BMP and Notch) were present in both HF and IFE organoids at low levels. Withdrawal of growth factors (Noggin, R-spondin and FGFs) resulted in upregulation of markers such as KRT16, IVL, KRT17 and SOX9, showing the potential of the organoids to develop towards more differentiated tissue. However, for induction of HF signatures or hair growth, addition of different growth factors or dermal papilla co-culture might be required. Taken together, our in vitro culture system can provide the basis to address hair growth and explore epidermal function/regeneration, allowing us to further investigate pathomechanisms of cutaneous disorders in dogs and potentially human patients.
