ABSTRACT: In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from primary dermal papilla cell cultures and human hair follicle organ culture from occipital scalp
Project description:Transcriptome analysis of DP signature gene expression in hTERT-immortalized balding (BAB) and non-balding (BAN) dermal papilla cells derived from frontal and occipital scalp of male patients with androgenetic alopecia Hamilton grade IV.
Project description:Dermal papilla cells isolated from the human hair follicle are capable of inducing hair growth in recipient epithelia. However, demonstrating disparity from rodent dermal papilla, human cells lose this inductive competance immediately upon growth in culture under normal growth conditions. We grew dermal papilla cells in hanging drop cultures that are morphologically akin to intact dermal papilla, and found that by enhancing the environment for aggregation, we could restore the inductive capacity of human dermal papilla cells in culture. The underlying genes that regulate the inductive potential of dermal papilla cells is not well understood, and we sought to use global profiling to identify key genes and pathways related to inductive competance within dermal papilla cells. We used Affymetrix microarrays to profile human dermal papilla cells in both hair inducing, and non-hair inducing states. Affymetrix microarrays were used to to perform profiling of human dermal papilla cells, both as intact tissues (freshly isolated from scalp), and at several stages in subsequent two dimensional culture; cell explant outgrowths (p0), cells at passage 1 (p1), passage 3 (p3) and passage 5 (p5). RNA was isolated from cultured cells 72 hours after feeding. Cells at passage 3 were also grown in hanging drops to form dermal spheroids, that were used for RNA collection 48 hours after establishment. All experiments were performed using tissue from three biological replicates (#D5, D6, D7),
Project description:Three individual patient-originated (Scalp trauma; ages 37, 46 and 57) DPCs were used for the studies. Dermal papilla cells, derived from the frontal scalp of 3 women, were treated with normal medium (Ctrl group) and medium containing 10-7 M corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH group) for 72 h. Proteins were extracted and digested with trypsin for 4D label-free quantitative proteomics (Shanghai Applied Protein Technology Co., Ltd.).

Project description:Transcriptome analysis of hTERT-immortalized balding (BAB) and non-balding (BAN) dermal papilla cells derived from frontal and occipital scalp of male patients with androgenetic alopecia Hamilton grade IV. Interrogation of transcriptome differences between BAB and BAN after dihydrotestosterone (DHT, active metabolite of androgen) treatment revealed significant enrichment of vasculature-related genes among down-regulated genes in BAB compared to BAN.
Project description:Much is still unknown about the molecular regulatory networks which govern the dermal papilla’s (DP) ability to induce hair follicle regeneration, a capacity which gradually decreases with age. DP and dermal sheath cup (DSC) cells from mature, anagen phase, hair follicles were manually microdissected from fresh frozen sections of 16-18 week human fetal scalp and 30-60 year old adult male scalp. Interfollicular dermal (IFD) fibroblasts were harvested for comparison. RNA-seq libraries from each cell population were prepared with Nugen’s Ovation RNA-Seq and Ultralow Library systems, sequenced to approximately 100 million total reads. A set of 121 genes was identified as significantly upregulated in fetal DP cells, as compared to both fetal DSC and IFD populations. Wnt/β-catenin, Shh, FGF, BMP, and Notch signaling pathways were significantly enriched among those genes differentially expressed between fetal and adult DP cells. Among them, Spondin-1, a Wnt agonist, was chosen for verification and can rescue hair follicle regeneration in skin reconstitution assays using cells from adult mice. Additionally, twenty-nine transcription factors were significantly upregulated in fetal DP compared to adult DP cells. Of those, seven transcription factor binding motifs were significantly enriched in the candidate promoter regions of differentially expressed genes between fetal and adult DP cells, suggesting a combinatorial regulatory role in the fetal DP phenotype. Further investigation into these regulators is warranted to determine if these proteins and/or associated pathways plays a role in the maintenance or modulation of DP cells to induce hair regeneration.

Project description:Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a progressive dermatological disorder of scalp hair loss, while beard growth in AGA is normally unaffected. In an attempt to identify genes that contribute to the androgen-responsive phenotype, we performed a thorough transcriptome profiling of hair follicles (HFs) from frontal and occipital scalp, chin and armpit. Through this analysis, three specifiic different expressed genes(LGALS7B, FABP4, FOS) were identified using qPCR, immunofluorescence. The differences in the expression of these genes in cultured beard and frontal HF reflected less inflammation and immune response, more active keratinization and PPARs signaling in beard HFs compared to frontal HFs. This profiling results be used to understand the different molecular mechanism of hair growth between AGA beard and HF, and those provided a possibility for the enlarged beard phenotype and AGA treatment.
