exosomes dermal papilla cells hair follicle stem cells Wnt3a β-catenin signaling pathway PCNA protein apoptosis Wnt/β-catenin pathway DPC-Exos HFSC Wnt signaling

TLDR Exosomes from dermal papilla cells help hair follicle stem cells grow and survive.

The study demonstrates that exosomes derived from dermal papilla cells (DPC-Exos) enhance hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) proliferation and inhibit apoptosis through the Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling pathway. Using a coculture system, it was observed that DPCs promote HFSC proliferation, indicated by increased PCNA protein levels. The overexpression of Wnt3a in DPC-Exos upregulated downstream genes in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, enhancing HFSC proliferation and reducing apoptosis. These findings suggest potential applications in molecular breeding of Angora rabbits and treatments for human hair disorders.
