The Angiogenic Potential of Mesenchymal Stem Cells from the Hair Follicle Outer Root Sheath.

ABSTRACT: Neovascularization is regarded as a pre-requisite in successful tissue grafting of both hard and soft tissues alike. This study considers mesenchymal stem cells from hair follicle outer root sheath (MSCORS) as powerful tools with a neat angiogenic potential that could in the future have wide scopes of neo-angiogenesis and tissue engineering. Autologous MSCORS were obtained ex vivo by non-invasive plucking of hair and they were differentiated in vitro into both endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), two crucial cellular components of vascular grafts. Assessment was carried out by immunostaining, confocal laser-scanning microscopy, gene expression analysis (qRT-PCR), quantitative analysis of anastomotic network parameters, and cumulative length quantification of immunostained ?-smooth muscle actin-containing stress fibers (? -SMA). In comparison to adipose mesenchymal stem cells, MSCORS exhibited a significantly higher differentiation efficiency according to key quantitative criteria and their endothelial derivatives demonstrated a higher angiogenic potential. Furthermore, the cells were capable of depositing their own extracellular matrix in vitro in the form of a membrane-cell sheet, serving as a base for viable co-culture of endothelial cells and SMCs integrated with their autologous matrix. Differentiated MSCORS hereby provided a complex autologous cell-matrix construct that demonstrates vascularization capacity and can serve as a base for personalized repair grafting applications.

Project description:BackgroundHair loss is a prevalent medical problem in both men and women. Maintaining the potential hair inductivity of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) during cell culture is the main factor in hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration. The present study was conducted to compare the effects of different concentrations of human hair outer root sheath cell (HHORSC) and platelet lysis (PL) exosomes to maintain hair inductivity of the human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs).MethodsIn this study, hDPCs and HHORSCs were isolated from healthy hair samples. Specific markers of hDPCs (versican, α-SMA) and HHORSCs (K15) were evaluated using flow cytometric and immunocytochemical techniques. The exosomes were isolated from HHORSCs and PL with ultracentrifugation technique. Western blot was used to detect specific markers of HHORSCs and PL exosomes. Particle size and distribution of the exosomes were analyzed by NanoSight dynamic light NanoSight Dynamic Light Scattering. Different methods such as proliferation test (MTS assay), migration test (Transwell assay) were used to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of exosomes (2,550,100 µg/ml) derived from HHORSC and PL on hDPCs. Expression of specific genes in the hair follicle inductivity, including ALP, versican and α-SMA were also evaluated using real time-PCR.ResultsThe flow cytometry of the specific cytoplasmic markers of the hDPCs and HHORSCs showed expression of versican (77%), α-SMA (55.2%) and K15 (73.2%). The result of particle size and distribution of the exosomes were analyzed by NanoSight dynamic light NanoSight Dynamic Light Scattering, which revealed the majority of HHORSC and PL exosomes were 30-150 nm. For 100 µg/ml of HHORSC exosomes, the expressions of ALP, versican and α-SMA proteins respectively increased by a factor of 2.1, 1.7and 1.3 compared to those in the control group.ConclusionIn summary, we applied HHORSC exosomes as a new method to support hair inductivity of dermal papilla cells and improve the outcome for the treatment of hair loss.
