Disease relevance of Hair Follicle

 

High impact information on Hair Follicle

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Hair Follicle

  • Interleukin 1 protects hair follicles from cytarabine (ARA-C)-induced toxicity in vivo and in vitro [11].
  • These data demonstrate that by suppressing ovarian androgen production, nafarelin may be useful for the treatment of hirsutism associated with either increased ovarian androgen production or increased sensitivity of the hair follicle to normal concentrations of circulating androgens [12].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The increased AR gene activity observed in PP patients, as indicated by the reduced AR gene methylation pattern, together with the presence of shorter CAG repeats, might lead to hypersensitivity of the hair follicles to steroid hormones and therefore to the premature development of pubic hair [13].
  • 1. In cats under chloralose anaesthesia single lumbosacral dorsal root ganglion cells of hair follicle afferent fibres were stimulated intracellularly to produce trains or pairs of impulses [14].
  • The present studies were undertaken to topographically localize the site of injury in the hair follicle after doxorubicin (DXR) administration and to investigate the mechanism of DXR-induced alopecia [15].
 

Biological context of Hair Follicle

 

Anatomical context of Hair Follicle

  • Mice with mutations in the downless (dl) gene have defects in hair follicle induction, lack sweat glands and have malformed teeth [17].
  • Agouti, which is produced in the hair follicle, acts on follicular melanocytes to inhibit alpha-MSH-induced eumelanin production, resulting in the subterminal band of phaeomelanin often visible in mammalian fur [2].
  • The transcriptional repressor CDP (Cutl1) is essential for epithelial cell differentiation of the lung and the hair follicle [18].
  • We show that LEF-1 mRNA is present in pluripotent ectoderm, and it is up-regulated in a highly restricted pattern just before the formation of underlying mesenchymal condensates and commitment of overlying ectodermal cells to invaginate and become hair follicles [20].
  • No collagenase mRNA was found in the epidermis of healthy skin, although occasional stromal cells contained collagenase or TIMP mRNAs, and TIMP mRNA was detected in hair follicles and sebaceous glands [21].
 

Associations of Hair Follicle with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Hair Follicle

  • Expression of Fgf5 is detected in hair follicles from wild-type mice and is localized to the outer root sheath during the anagen VI phase of the hair growth cycle [26].
  • Sonic hedgehog-dependent activation of Gli2 is essential for embryonic hair follicle development [3].
  • Finally, we address the underlying mechanism and show that in the SC niche, Wnt signaling and beta-catenin stabilization transiently activate Lef1/Tcf complexes and promote their binding to target genes that promote TA cell conversion and proliferation to form the activated cells of the newly developing hair follicle [27].
  • Unexpectedly, the only regions of epidermis especially responsive to TGF-alpha overexpression were those that were normally thick and where hair follicle density was typically low [28].
  • By transgenic rescue experiments, we show that epidermal Gli2 function alone is sufficient to restore hair follicle development in Gli2(-/-) skin [3].
