February 2025 in “Biomolecules” The study explores the role of RORA in regulating autophagy in hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) by upregulating the Sqstm1 gene. Using a rat model, researchers found that activation of RORA with the agonist SR1078 significantly increased autophagy markers, such as the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio and SQSTM1 protein levels. This suggests that RORA enhances autophagy through direct binding to the Sqstm1 gene promoter, promoting selective autophagy in HFSCs. These findings highlight RORA's potential as a target for hair follicle development research and offer insights into treating conditions like alopecia.
