Aryl hydrocarbon receptor overexpression in miniaturized follicles in female pattern hair loss

Abstract: The etiopathogenesis of female pattern hair loss is still poorly understood. In addition to genetic and hormonal elements, environmental factors could be involved. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor is expressed in keratinocytes and can be activated by environmental pollutants leading to alterations in the cell cycle, inflammation, and apoptosis. Here we demonstrate the overexpression of nuclear aryl hydrocarbon receptors in miniaturized hair follicles in female pattern hair loss.

“…Oxidative stress, perifollicular microinflammation, and microvascular insufficiency have been reported as factors associated with AGA. 72 , 73 Goldman et al observed that in AGA, bald areas have lower oxygen (O 2 ) levels than non-bald ones, suggesting some degree of microvascular insufficiency. 74 Moreover, the conversion of testosterone into DHT preferentially occurs in an O 2 -poor medium, and therefore, an increased blood supply would reduce local hypoxia and thus could be beneficial in the treatment of AGA.…”
