Mice harboring a targeted disruption of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) allele exhibit a severely disorganized hair follicle phenotype, fuzzy coat, and systemic disease resulting in death before 3 weeks. This skin phenotype was reproduced in whole skin grafts and in grafts of EGFR null hair follicle buds onto nude mice, providing a model to evaluate the natural evolution of skin lacking the EGFR. Hair follicles in grafts of null skin did not progress from anagen to telogen and scanning electron micrografts revealed wavy, flattened hair fibers with cuticular abnormalities. Many of the EGFR null hair follicles in the grafted skin were consumed by an inflammatory reaction resulting in complete hair loss in 67% of the grafts by 10 weeks. Localization of follicular differentiation markers including keratin 6, transglutaminase, and the hair keratins mHa2 and hacl-1 revealed a pattern of premature differentiation within the null hair follicles. In intact EGFR null mice, proliferation in the interfollicular epidermis, but not hair follicles, was greatly decreased in the absence of EGFR. In contrast, grafting of EGFR null skin resulted in a hyperplastic response in the epidermis that did not resolve even after 10 weeks, although the wound-induced hyperplasia in EGFR wild-type grafts had resolved within 3 to 4 weeks. Thus, epithelial expression of the EGFR has complex functions in the skin. It is important in delaying follicular differentiation, may serve to protect the hair follicle from immunological reactions, and modifies both normal and wound-induced epidermal proliferation but seems dispensable for follicular proliferation.

Norreticuline and reticuline as possible new agents for hair growth acceleration.

(S)-Norreticuline and (S)-reticuline have been shown to stimulate the proliferation of cultured cells from the murine hair apparatus significantly. Furthermore, these activities were found on cultured hair cells, but not on cultured keratinocytes or fibroblasts from murine skin. In addition, (S)-norreticuline significantly stimulated mouse hair regrowth. These results suggest that (S)-norreticuline and (S)-reticuline could have specific activities on hair apparatus cells and might be useful as active compounds for accelerating hair growth.

BACKGROUND: Epidermal hyperplasia in melanocytic nevi is a common but little-investigated phenomenon. METHODS: We prospectively examined all melanocytic nevi diagnosed in our department over an 8-month period, for the criteria of keratotic melanocytic nevus (KMN), namely the presence of marked epidermal hyperplasia with or without horn pseudocyst formation, hyperkeratosis, and papillomatosis. In addition to routine histologic review, we studied 12 representative cases with immunohistochemistry to examine expression of Ki-67, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Bcl-2, and Bax. RESULTS: From a total of 1,527 melanocytic nevi, 95 were KMN (prevalence 6%). The average age was 34 years, with a male:female ratio of 1:2. The predominant location was the trunk (76%), followed by head and neck (20%), and extremities (4%). Clinical diagnoses were atypical nevus (44%), nevus not otherwise specified (43%), and others including seborrheic keratosis, acrochordon, and basal cell carcinoma. Two KMN were junctional, 44 compound, and 49 intradermal. Twenty-three KMN (24%) had histologic features suggesting congenital onset, and 15 (16%) had mild to moderate dysplastic features. Two cases demonstrated induction of sebaceous glands. Significantly increased Ki-67 expression was detected in the hyperplastic epidermis, particularly in deeper areas related to keratinous cysts and hair follicles. Bcl-2 and Bax (anti- and pro-apoptosis proteins, respectively) and EGFR were expressed similarly in both normal and hyperplastic epidermis overlying the KMN. CONCLUSIONS: KMN are commonly biopsied skin lesions, mostly located on the trunk. Many such lesions are clinically considered atypical, in contrast to their benign histologic appearance. The epidermal hyperplasia on top of KMN demonstrates increased cellular proliferation, in the context of adequately regulated apoptosis and EGFR expression. The cellular proliferation seems to commence in hair follicles.
