July 2006 in “British Journal of Dermatology” This study investigated the expression of vitamin D receptors (VDR) in hair follicles during the murine hair cycle, using C57 BL-6 mice. VDR expression was detected in both outer root sheath keratinocytes and dermal papilla cells, with stronger immunoreactivity observed during the anagen IV-VI and catagen phases compared to telogen and anagen I-III. These findings suggested that VDR expression varied with the hair cycle, indicating a potential role for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in hair follicle biology and suggesting that certain follicular cell populations might have hair cycle-dependent sensitivity to this hormone.
