Adenosine stimulates growth of dermal papilla and lengthens the anagen phase by increasing the cysteine level via fibroblast growth factors 2 and 7 in an organ culture of mouse vibrissae hair follicles

Abstract: Abstract. Hair regression and balding are distressing concerns for an increasing number of people due to changes in lifestyle and serious nutritional imbalances. Therapies for treatment of hair loss are needed. Among potential therapeutics, adenosine has been suggested as a potent regulator of hair growth. In this study, we investigated the effects of adenosine on hair follicles and dermal papilla (DP) cells, and the mechanism underlying the action of adenosine. Hair follicles are organs, including DP cells, t… Show more

“…An adenosine-mediated signaling pathway contributes to minoxidil-induced hair growth [50], and adenosine significantly increased the anagen hair growth rate and the thick hair rate [51]. In particular, adenosine stimulates the growth of hair follicles by triggering the expression of growth factors and β-catenin, and by inducing their downstream target signaling pathways [52]. Adenosine also stimulates fibroblast growth factor-7 gene expression via adenosine A2B receptor signaling in dermal papilla cells [53].…”

“…The ERK pathway has been shown to affect cellular functions including cell proliferation and apoptosis [16,17]. Several activators of hair-growth, such as the vascular endothelial growth factor, placental growth factor, and adenosine, have displayed ERK-mediated hair growth effects [18,19]. …”

“…In addition, Western blotting was performed to analyze the expression of various signaling molecules that are related to cell proliferation and survival, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase ERK, CREB, AKT, and Bcl-2 23 30 31 . For Western blotting, hDPCs on passage 4~5 under subculture were used.…”
