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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Calcineurin/Nfatc1 signaling links skin stem cell quiescence to hormonal signaling during pregnancy and lactation

Project description:Cyclosporine A (CSA) leads to the precocious onset of hair follicle growth, which is driven by premature activation and proliferation of hair follicle stem cells. Here, we identify gene expression changes associated with CSA treatment in hair follicle stem cells prior to the onset of proliferation as a readout for the early events in stem cell actvation.

Gene expression profiles of Wnt-1 overexpressing melanoma

Project description:We aimed to analyze the effects of Wnt-1 overexpression on the mRNA expression profile of human melanoma in a mouse xenograft model and correlated the results with then presence or absence of lymphangiogenesis and metastasis. Affymetrix gene expression analysis revealed activation of canonical and non-canonical targets genes in response to Wnt-1 as compared with controls. In regard to lymphangiogenic factors, the amount of VEGF-C was the single best marker to correlate with the amount of lymph-angiogenesis. mRNA expression array of human melanoma orthotopically grown in SCID mice. Comparison includes mRNA expression profile of two melanoma cell-lines (A375 and M24met) stably overexpressing control vector or Wnt-1 treated with or without CsA. Comparison #1 comprised Wnt-1 versus control in A375 and M24met melanoma, respectively. Comparison #2 comprised Wnt-1 + Cyclosporine A (CsA) versus Wnt-1 without CsA.

Vitamins and their derivatives synergistically promote hair shaft elongation ex vivo via PlGF/VEGFR-1 signaling activation

Project description:Background: Despite that vitamins or their derivatives (Vits), such as panthenyl ethyl ether, tocopherol acetate, or pyridoxine have been widely used in topical hair care products, their efficacy and mode of action have been insufficiently studied. Objective: To elucidate biological influence of Vits on hair follicles and dissect underlying mechanisms. Methods: Mouse vibrissa hair follicle organ culture model was utilized to evaluate the effects of Vits on hair shaft elongation. Gene and protein expression analyses, and histological investigation were conducted to elucidate responsible mechanisms. Human hair follicle cell culture was adopted to assess clinical relevance. Results: In organ culture models, the combination of panthenyl ethyl ether, tocopherol acetate, and pyridoxine (namely PPT) supplementation significantly promoted hair shaft elongation. PPT-treatment enhanced hair matrix cell proliferation by 1.9 folds compared to controls, as demonstrated by Ki-67 positive immunoreactivity. PPT-treated mouse dermal papillae up-regulated Placental growth factor (Plgf) by 1.6 folds, compared to non-treated controls. Importantly, addition of PlGF neutralizing antibodies to the ex vivo culture diminished the promotive effect on hair growth and the increase in VEGFR1 phosphorylation achieved by PPT. A VEGFR1 inhibitor also repressed the promotion of hair shaft elongation. Microarray analysis suggested synergistic summation of individual Vit bioactivity, putatively explaining the effect of PPT. Moreover, PPT increased PlGF secretion in cultured human dermal papilla cells. Conclusion: Our findings suggested that PPT promoted hair shaft elongation via activating PlGF/VEGFR-1 signaling. The current study can shed light on the previously underrepresented advantage of utilizing Vits for ameliorating hair care products.

PHK Cells: control vs. cyclosporine vs. 11R-VIVIT

Project description:Calcineurin/NFAT signaling pathway has been shown to play important roles in various tissues such as the immune system, cardiac muscle and neuron. Although recent studies have shown that the pathway is involved in the regulation of hair growth, the precise mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we examine the molecular mechanism which is regulated by calcineurin/NFAT pathway, using two specific inhibitors for the pathway. Transcriptional profiling of human keratinocyte cell line, PHK cells, comparing control untreated PHK cells with cyclosporin A (CsA)-treated or 11R-VIVIT-treated PHK cells. Goal was to identify the effects of NFAT inhibitors on PHK cell proliferation. Cyclosporine A is a chemical compound, which strongly inhibits calcineurin phosphatase activity cooperating with cyclophilin, resulting in inhibition of NFAT signaling pathway. 11R-VIVIT is a cell-permeable peptide, which specifically interacts with NFAT and inhibits its binding to calcineurin, resulting in competitive inhibition of NFAT signaling pathway. Three-condition experiment; untreated PHK cells, CsA-treated PHK cells and 11R-VIVIT-treated PHK cells. Supplementary files: Significantly up-regulated genes across 4 different comparisons.

Ruxolitinib inhibits Cyclosporine-induced proliferation of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) on Cyclosporine A (CSA) are prone to catastrophic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Allograft-sparing, cancer-targeting systemic treatments are unavailable. We have shown increased risk for catastrophic SCC in OTRs via CSA-mediated induction of Interleukin-22 (IL-22). Herein, we found CSA drives SCC proliferation and tumor growth through IL-22 and JAK/STAT pathway induction. We in turn inhibited SCC growth with an FDA-approved JAK 1/2 inhibitor, Ruxolitinib. In human SCC cells, greatest proliferative response to IL-22 and CSA treatment occurred in non-metastasizing lines. IL-22 treatment upregulated JAK1 and STAT1/3 in A431 SCC cells. JAK/STAT pathway genes were highly expressed in tumors from a cohort of CSA-exposed OTRs, and in SCC with high risk for metastasis. Compared to immunocompetent SCC, genes associated with innate immunity, response to DNA damage and p53 regulation were differentially expressed in SCC from OTRs. In nude mice engrafted with human A431 cells, IL-22 and CSA treatment increased tumor growth and upregulated IL-22 receptor, JAK1 and STAT 1/3 expression. Ruxolitinib treatment significantly reduced tumor volume and reversed the accelerated tumor growth. CSA and IL-22 exacerbate aggressive behavior in SCC. Targeting the IL-22 axis via selective JAK/STAT inhibition may reduce the progression of aggressive SCC in OTRs, without compromising immunosuppression. In this study, microarray data was used to compare normal skin to immunocompetent SCC, to transplant associated SCC (TSCC)

Profiling Protein Expression Levels and Genetically Variant Peptides in Human Hair From Different Body Sites

Project description:Proteins of the human hair shaft contain a wealth of information about the coding regions of the person’s genome from whom the hair is derived. Commonly found at crime scenes, hair shafts may thus provide useful forensic evidence if the information they contain can be exploited. Present experiments show that hair shafts from four different anatomic sites are similarly useful in distinguishing individuals by protein profiling. However, the results demonstrated that protein profiles were dependent on anatomic site, indicating that a proper comparison requires matching the sites of origin. The differences in profile offer the prospect of determining the site of origin of hair by comparison with profiles of shafts from other anatomic sites. By contrast, the genetically variant peptides detected in the protein digests, that map to non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in subject DNA, were detectable regardless of the anatomic origin of the hair shafts. The resulting profiles of genetically variant peptides were more dependent on a subject’s genotype than on the anatomic origin of the hair shaft. Individual identification therefore can be based on peptide profiles regardless of body location. This study demonstrates the utility of proteomic analysis for increasing the forensic value of hair shaft evidence.

Deep coverage proteome analysis of hair shaft for forensic individual identification

Project description:Hair shaft is one of the most common biological evidences found at crime scene. Due to the low amount and high degradation of nuclear DNA in hair shaft, it is difficult to achieve individual identification through routine method. The proteins in the hair shaft are stable and contain genetic polymorphisms in the form of single amino acid polymorphisms (SAPs), translated from non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in the genome.
