Ageing and colony‐forming efficiency of human hair follicle keratinocytes

Abstract: The decline of tissue regenerative potential of skin and hair is a hallmark of physiological ageing and may be associated with age-related changes in tissue-specific stem cells and/or their environment. Human hair follicles (hHF) contain keratinocytes having the property of stem cells such as clonogenic potential. Growth capacity of hHF keratinocytes shows that most of the colony-forming cells are classified as holoclones, meroclones or paraclones when analysed in a clonal assay (Cell, Volume 76, page 1063).

“…These specific mechanisms are complex, and the key growth factors involved in these communications are still matter of studies . With ageing, a cumulative oxidative stress is described to affect these hair compartments , leading to the loss of stem cell properties and to a progressive decrease in the hair density. Maintaining these properties by protecting the hair cells is thus a key to maintain a full hair density.…”

“…Decline of tissue regenerative potential is a hallmark of aging, and this could be ascribed to age‐related changes in tissue‐specific stem cells . Epidermal and dermal stem cell compartments are therefore fundamental for the continuous renewal of the skin, and their malfunctioning could be detrimental for the tissue, facilitating and/or accelerating irreversible aging process . In particular, adult stem cells are the unique source for skin tissue renewal .…”

“…In parallel, the ability to in vitro give rise to holoclones progressively decline while the number of paraclones increases . Of note, in human hair follicles, an age‐related progressive decline in holoclone production was also observed . Altogether, these results suggest an age‐related progressive loss of human epidermal stem cells' functionality.…”
