research Modulation of Murine Hair Follicle Function by Alterations in Ornithine Decarboxylase Activity
The study investigated the role of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in hair follicle function using transgenic mice that overexpressed a mutated ODC transgene in hair follicle keratinocytes. These mice experienced normal initial hair growth but lost their hair completely 2-3 weeks after birth, coinciding with the onset of ODC overexpression and the development of follicular cysts. The study found that the ODC inhibitor 2-difluoromethylornithine could prevent hair loss and partially restore normal skin histology if administered early, and it could also reactivate hair growth in mice with complete hair loss. The results suggested that ODC played a crucial regulatory role in mouse hair follicles.

research Hair Bundle Defects and Loss of Function in the Vestibular End Organs of Mice Lacking the Receptor-Like Inositol Lipid Phosphatase PTPRQ

research Inhibition of Polyamine Synthesis Alters Hair Follicle Function and Fiber Composition
The study investigated the role of polyamines in hair follicle function and fiber composition in sheep. It found that inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase with alpha difluoromethylornithine altered fiber characteristics but did not inhibit wool follicle growth in culture. Conversely, inhibiting S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase with methylglyoxal (bis)guanylhydrazone completely inhibited fiber growth, which could be reversed by adding spermidine, but not spermine. The study concluded that polyamines, particularly spermidine, were crucial for hair growth, as evidenced by the ability of spermidine to partially counteract growth depression in methionine-deficient conditions.
