research Hairless And The Polyamine Putrescine Form A Negative Regulatory Loop In The Epidermis
The study revealed a negative regulatory loop between the Hairless (HR) protein and the polyamine putrescine in the epidermis, impacting hair follicle cycling and epidermal homeostasis. HR regulated ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) expression through MYC superfamily proteins, while elevated putrescine levels decreased HR expression. This mutual regulation was linked to hair loss phenotypes in mouse models with altered HR or polyamine enzyme expression. The research suggested that putrescine influenced gene expression through various pathways, including epigenetic mechanisms, affecting a small number of genes in keratinocytes. These findings highlighted the complex regulatory mechanisms involving HR and polyamines, with implications for hair cycling and potentially carcinogenesis.

research Skin-Specific Expression of a Truncated E1a Oncoprotein Binding to p105-Rb Leads to Abnormal Hair Follicle Maturation Without Increased Epidermal Proliferation
The study examined the impact of a mutant Adenovirus E1a oncoprotein, NTdl646, on skin cells in transgenic mice, revealing that its expression led to abnormal hair follicle maturation, characterized by short, crooked hair shafts and a dystrophic or absent inner root sheath. Despite these hair follicle abnormalities, the surrounding skin remained normal, and there was no increase in skin tumors. The keratinocytes in these mice showed partial resistance to growth inhibitors, suggesting that the oncoprotein disrupted normal hair follicle development by interfering with growth regulatory proteins, without causing cancerous growth.
