November 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study investigates the role of lipids in hair growth, particularly through the HIF-1 signaling pathway. Researchers observed reduced lipid metabolism in the scalp tissues of patients with androgenetic alopecia. Supplementing lipids in culture mediums enhanced hair growth-related gene expression and the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells (DPCs). RNA-sequencing and HIF-1a knockdown experiments identified HIF-1a as a key regulator in lipid-induced upregulation of trichogenic genes. Additionally, lipids were shown to promote the elongation of hair-shaft-like structures in vitro. These findings suggest that targeting lipid metabolism and HIF-1 signaling could be a promising approach for treating hair loss.
