[PMID: 39306847 PMCID: PMC11574610 DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114742] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 08/27/2024] [Indexed: 10/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Mammals typically heal with fibrotic scars, and treatments to regenerate human skin and hair without a scar remain elusive. We discovered that mice lacking C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (CXCR2 knockout [KO]) displayed robust and complete tissue regeneration across three different injury models: skin, hair follicle, and cartilage. Remarkably, wild-type mice receiving plasma from CXCR2 KO mice through parabiosis or injections healed wounds scarlessly. A comparison of circulating proteins using multiplex ELISA revealed a 24-fold higher plasma level of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) in CXCR2 KO blood. Local injections of G-CSF into wild-type (WT) mouse wound beds reduced scar formation and increased scarless tissue regeneration. G-CSF directly polarized macrophages into an anti-inflammatory phenotype, and both CXCR2 KO and G-CSF-treated mice recruited more anti-inflammatory macrophages into injured areas. Modulating macrophage activation states at early time points after injury promotes scarless tissue regeneration and may offer a therapeutic approach to improve healing of human skin wounds.

Bioact Mater 2024; 36:185-202. [PMID: 38463552 PMCID: PMC10924181 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.02.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Wound healing in cases of excessive inflammation poses a significant challenge due to compromised neovascularization. Here, we propose a multi-functional composite hydrogel engineered to overcome such conditions through recruitment and activation of macrophages with adapted degradation of the hydrogel. The composite hydrogel (G-TSrP) is created by combining gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and nanoparticles (TSrP) composed of tannic acid (TA) and Sr2+. These nanoparticles are prepared using a one-step mineralization process assisted by metal-phenolic network formation. G-TSrP exhibits the ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species and direct polarization of macrophages toward M2 phenotype. It has been observed that the liberation of TA and Sr2+ from G-TSrP actively facilitate the recruitment and up-regulation of the expression of extracellular matrix remodeling genes of macrophages, and thereby, coordinate in vivo adapted degradation of the G-TSrP. Most significantly, G-TSrP accelerates angiogenesis despite the TA's inhibitory properties, which are counteracted by the released Sr2+. Moreover, G-TSrP enhances wound closure under inflammation and promotes normal tissue formation with strong vessel growth. Genetic analysis confirms macrophage-mediated wound healing by the composite hydrogel. Collectively, these findings pave the way for the development of biomaterials that promote wound healing by creating regenerative environment.

Abstract
Macrophages are the main cells shaping the local microenvironment during wound healing. As the prime T cells in the skin, γδ T cells participate in regulating microenvironment construction, determining their mutual regulation helps to understand the mechanisms of wound healing, and explore innovative therapeutic options for wound repair. This review introduced their respective role in wound healing firstly, and then summarized the regulatory effect of γδ T cells on macrophages, including chemotaxis, polarization, apoptosis, and pyroptosis. Last, the retrograde regulation on γδ T cells by macrophages was also discussed. The main purpose is to excavate novel interventions for treating wound and provide new thought for further research.

Abstract
The beneficial effects of Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) on gut health and inflammation reduction have been demonstrated; however, scientific evidence of hair growth enhancement by Akk has not been reported. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Akk on improving testosterone-mediated hair growth inhibition. Hair growth inhibition was induced through subcutaneous injection of testosterone into the shaved dorsal skin of C57BL/6 male mice. Live and pasteurized Akk were orally administered at a concentration of 1 × 108 colony-forming unit. After 5 weeks, hair length and skin tissues were analyzed. The live and pasteurized Akk significantly stimulated hair growth, countering the inhibitory effect of testosterone compared to the testosterone-alone group. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed a significant increase in hair follicle size in the Akk-treated group. An increase in β-catenin levels, which are associated with hair growth and cell cycle progression, was also observed. Moreover, the Akk-treated group exhibited increased levels of fibroblast growth factors, including Fgf7, Igf1, Fgf7, Fgf10, and Fgf21. However, no significant difference was observed between the live and pasteurized Akk groups. These results underscore the potential of live and pasteurized Akk in improving testosterone-mediated hair growth inhibition.

Abstract
The mammalian skin contains hair follicles, which are epidermal appendages that undergo periodic cycles and exhibit mini-organ features, such as discrete stem cell compartments and different cellular components. Wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) is the remarkable ability to regenerate hair follicles after large-scale wounding and occurs in several adult mammals. WIHN is comparable to embryonic hair follicle development in its processes. Researchers are beginning to identify the stem cells that, in response to wounding, develop into neogenic hair follicles, as well as to understand the functions of immune cells, mesenchymal cells, and several signaling pathways that are essential for this process. WIHN represents a promising therapeutic approach to the reprogramming of cellular states for promoting hair follicle regeneration and preventing scar formation. In the scope of this review, we investigate the contribution of several cell types and molecular mechanisms to WIHN.

Abstract
The regulatory effect of DNA methylation on the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris is completely unknown. Herein we analyzed the DNA methylation profile in skin samples of acne vulgaris and further integrated it with gene expression profiles and single-cell RNA-sequencing data. Finally, 31,134 differentially methylated sites and 770 differentially methylated and expressed genes (DMEGs) were identified. The multi-omics analysis suggested the importance of DNA methylation in inflammation and immunity in acne. And DMEGs were verified in an external dataset and were closely related to early inflammatory acne. Additionally, we conducted experiments to verify the mRNA expression and DNA methylation level of DMEGs. This study supports the significant contribution of epigenetics to the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris and may provide new ideas for the molecular mechanisms of and potential therapeutic strategies for acne vulgaris.

Abstract
The skin harbours transcriptionally and functionally heterogeneous mesenchymal cells that participate in various physiological activities by secreting biochemical cues. In this study, we aimed to identify a new subpopulation of dermal mesenchymal cells that enhance hair follicle regeneration through a paracrine mechanism. Integrated single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data analysis revealed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as a marker of distinct fibroblast subpopulation in the neonatal murine dermis. Immunofluorescence staining and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) were used to validate the existence of the cell population in Krt14-rtTA-H2BGFP mouse. The difference of gene expression between separated cell subpopulation was examined by real-time PCR. Potential effect of the designated factor on hair follicle regeneration was observed after the application on excisional wounds in Krt14-rtTA-H2BGFP mouse. Immunofluorescence staining demonstrated the existence of dermal EGFR+ cells in neonatal and adult mouse dermis. The EGFR+ mesenchymal population, sorted by FACS, displayed a higher expression level of Igf1 (insulin-like growth factor 1). Co-localisation of IGF1 with EGFR in the mouse dermis and upregulated numbers of hair follicles in healed wounds following the application of exogenous IGF1 illustrated the contribution of EGFR+ cells in promoting wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis. Our results indicate that EGFR identifies a subpopulation of dermal fibroblasts that contribute to IGF1 promotion of hair follicle neogenesis. It broadens the understanding of heterogeneity and the mesenchymal cell function in skin and may facilitate the potential translational application of these cells.

Abstract
Inflammation is an essential host defense mechanism in response to microbial infection and tissue injury. In addition to its well-established role in infection, inflammation is actively involved in the repair of damaged tissues and restoration of homeostatic conditions after tissue injury. The intensity of the inflammatory response and types of cells involved in inflammation have a significant impact on the quality of tissue repair. Numerous immune cell subtypes participate in tissue repair and regeneration. In particular, immune cell-derived secretants, including cytokines and growth factors, can actively modulate the proliferation of resident stem cells or progenitor cells to facilitate tissue regeneration. These findings highlight the importance of inflammation during tissue repair and regeneration; however, the precise role of immune cells in tissue regeneration remains unclear. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the contribution of specific immune cell types to tissue repair and regeneration. We also discuss how inflammation affects the final outcome of tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) due to Leishmania braziliensis infection have an exacerbated inflammatory response associated with tissue damage and ulcer development. An increase in the rate of patients who fail therapy with pentavalent antimony has been documented. An adjuvant therapy with an anti-inflammatory drug with the potential of Leishmania killing would benefit CL patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) activation by pioglitazone in the regulation of the inflammatory response and L. braziliensis killing by monocytes. Pioglitazone is an oral drug used in the treatment of diabetes, and its main mechanism of action is through the activation of PPAR-γ, which is expressed in many cell types of the immune response. We found that activation of PPAR-γ by pioglitazone decreases the inflammatory response in CL patients without affecting L. braziliensis killing by monocytes. Our data suggest that pioglitazone may serve as an adjunctive treatment for CL caused by L. braziliensis.

OXIDATIVE MEDICINE AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY 2022; 2022:8279269. [PMID: 35903712 PMCID: PMC9315455 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8279269] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Hair follicles (HFs) maintain homeostasis through the hair cycles; therefore, disrupting the hair cycle may lead to hair loss. Our previous study showed that apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) nuclear translocation and poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) upregulation induced apoptosis in mouse hair follicles during the hair cycle transition from anagen to catagen. However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. In this study, we found that intrinsic ROS levels increased during the hair follicle cycle transition from anagen to catagen, followed by abrupt DNA breaks and activation of homologous recombinant and nonhomologous end joining DNA repair, along with the enhancement of apoptosis. Mice in different stages of the hair cycle were sacrificed, and the dorsal skins were collected. The results of western blot and histological staining indicated that AIF-PARP1 plays a key role in HF apoptosis, but their role in the regulation of the HF cycle is not clear. Mice were treated with inhibitors from anagen to catagen: treatment with BMN 673, a PARP1 inhibitor, increased DNA breaks and activated the cytochrome c/caspase-3-mediated apoptotic pathway, accelerating HF regression. Ac-DEVD-CHO (Ac), a caspase-3 inhibitor, attenuated HF degeneration by upregulating PARP1 expression, suggesting a seesaw relationship between cytochrome c-caspase-3- and AIF-PARP1-mediated apoptosis, wherein PARP1 may be the fulcrum. In addition, macrophages were involved in regulating the hair cycle, and the rate of M1 macrophages around HFs increased during catagen, while more M2 macrophages were found during anagen and telogen. Our results indicate that intrinsic ROS drive HF cycle progression through DNA damage and repair, followed by apoptosis. Intrinsic ROS drive hair follicle cycle progression by modulating DNA damage and repair, and consecutively, hair follicle apoptosis and macrophage polarization work together to promote the hair follicle cycle.

Abstract
The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is composed of 18 secreted signaling proteins consisting of canonical FGFs and endocrine FGFs that activate four receptor tyrosine kinases (FGFRs 1-4) and four intracellular proteins (intracellular FGFs or iFGFs) that primarily function to regulate the activity of voltage-gated sodium channels and other molecules. The canonical FGFs, endocrine FGFs, and iFGFs have been reviewed extensively by us and others. In this review, we briefly summarize past reviews and then focus on new developments in the FGF field since our last review in 2015. Some of the highlights in the past 6 years include the use of optogenetic tools, viral vectors, and inducible transgenes to experimentally modulate FGF signaling, the clinical use of small molecule FGFR inhibitors, an expanded understanding of endocrine FGF signaling, functions for FGF signaling in stem cell pluripotency and differentiation, roles for FGF signaling in tissue homeostasis and regeneration, a continuing elaboration of mechanisms of FGF signaling in development, and an expanding appreciation of roles for FGF signaling in neuropsychiatric diseases.

Abstract
Effective tissue repair is vital for the survival of organisms. Yet, how the immune system coordinates with tissue stem cells (SCs) to effect postnatal tissue restoration remains elusive. This review presents current knowledge surrounding wound-induced SC and immune signaling that favors tissue repair, including wound healing and regeneration. We discuss factors that affect regenerative capacities among organisms and the dynamics of local immune cells and SCs during reepithelialization. We also present recent insights into how immune niches communicate with SCs or other body systems to restore the epithelial architecture. Additionally, we summarize our findings on functional wound regeneration, specifically how alarmin (double-stranded RNA [dsRNA])-activated Toll-like receptor signaling and host-microbe interaction-related immune pathways alter the regenerative property of skin SCs. Last, we touch on mechanisms by which known immunologic cellular and molecular signaling might boost the skin's regenerative property. Overall, this review will provide insights into how therapeutically modulating immune signaling could enhance postnatal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Despite the rapid development of therapeutic approaches for skin repair, chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers remain an unaddressed problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Increasing evidence has revealed the crucial and diverse roles of the immune cells in the development and repair of the skin tissue, prompting new research to focus on further understanding and modulating the local immune niche for comprehensive, 'perfect' regeneration. In this review, we first introduce how different immunocytes and certain stromal cells involved in innate and adaptive immunity coordinate to maintain the immune niche and tissue homeostasis, with emphasis on their specific roles in normal and pathological wound healing. We then discuss novel engineering approaches - particularly biomaterials systems and cellular therapies - to target different players of the immune niche, with three major aims to i) overcome 'under-healing', ii) avoid 'over-healing', and iii) promote functional restoration, including appendage development. Finally, we highlight how these strategies strive to manage chronic wounds and achieve full structural and functional skin recovery by creating desirable 'soil' through modulating the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
The hair follicle is a unique mini organ that undergoes continuous cycles of replenishment. While hair follicle formation was long thought to occur strictly during embryogenesis, it is now becoming increasingly clear that hair follicles can regenerate from the wound bed. Here, we provide an overview of the recent advancements in the field of Wound Induced Hair Neogenesis (WIHN) in mice. We briefly outline the hair follicle morphogenic process and discuss the major features of adult hair follicle regeneration. We examine the role of distinct cell types and review the contribution of specific signaling pathways to the WIHN phenotype. The phenomenon of neogenic hair regeneration provides an important platform, which may offer new insights into mammalian regeneration in the adult setting.

Abstract
Fibrosis is a major health burden across diseases and organs. To remedy this, we study wound‐induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) as a model of non‐fibrotic healing that recapitulates embryogenesis for de novo hair follicle morphogenesis after wounding. We previously demonstrated that TLR3 promotes WIHN through binding wound‐associated dsRNA, the source of which is still unclear. Here, we find that multiple distinct contexts of high WIHN all show a strong neutrophil signature. Given the correlation between neutrophil infiltration and endogenous dsRNA release, we hypothesized that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) likely release nuclear spliceosomal U1 dsRNA and modulate WIHN. However, rather than enhance regeneration, we find mature neutrophils inhibit WIHN such that mice with mature neutrophil depletion exhibit higher WIHN. Similarly, Pad4 null mice, which are defective in NET production, show augmented WIHN. Finally, using single‐cell RNA sequencing, we identify a dramatic increase in mature and activated neutrophils in the wound beds of low regenerating Tlr3−/− mice. Taken together, these results demonstrate that although mature neutrophils are stimulated by a common pro‐regenerative cue, their presence and NETs hinder regeneration.

Abstract
Fibrosis is one of the largest sources of human morbidity. The skin is a complex organ where interplay between diverse cell types and signalling pathways is essential both in homeostasis and wound repair, which can result in fibrosis or regeneration. This makes skin a useful model to study fibrosis and regeneration. While fibrosis often occurs postinjury, both clinical and laboratory observations suggest skin regeneration, complete with reconstituted cell diversity and de novo hair follicles, is possible. Extensive research performed in pursuit of skin regeneration has elucidated the key players, both cellular and molecular. Interestingly, some cells known for their homeostatic function are not implicated in regeneration or wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN), suggesting regeneration harnesses separate functional pathways from embryogenesis or other non-homeostatic mechanisms. For example, classic bulge cells, noted for their role in normally cycling hair follicles, do not finally contribute to long-lived cells in the regenerated tissue. During healing, multiple populations of cells, among them specific epithelial lineages, mesenchymal cells, and immune cells promote regenerative outcomes in the wounded skin. Ultimately, targeting specific populations of cells will be essential in manipulating a postwound environment to favour regeneration in lieu of fibrosis.

Abstract
Environmental factors that enhance regeneration are largely unknown. The immune system and microbiome are attributed roles in repairing and regenerating structure but their precise interplay is unclear. Here, we assessed the function of skin bacteria in wound healing and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN), a rare adult organogenesis model. WIHN levels and stem cell markers correlate with bacterial counts, being lowest in germ-free (GF), intermediate in conventional specific pathogen-free (SPF), and highest in wild-type mice, even those infected with pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus. Reducing skin microbiota via cage changes or topical antibiotics decreased WIHN. Inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and keratinocyte-dependent IL-1R-MyD88 signaling are necessary and sufficient for bacteria to promote regeneration. Finally, in a small trial, a topical broad-spectrum antibiotic also slowed skin wound healing in adult volunteers. These results demonstrate a role for IL-1β to control morphogenesis and support the need to reconsider routine applications of topical prophylactic antibiotics.

Abstract
Hair follicle (HF) is an excellent mini-model to study adult tissue regeneration, since it can regenerate itself under appropriate stress settings via interaction with niche components. Dermal macrophages, a group of heterogeneous cell populations, serve as key regulators in this microenvironment. Recent advances in phenotype identification and lineage tracing have unveiled various dermal macrophage subsets involved in stress-induced hair regeneration through different mechanisms, where HF structural integrity is impaired to varying degrees. This review summarized current knowledge regarding the distribution, sources, phenotypes of dermal macrophages in association with HF, as well as the mechanisms underlying macrophage-mediated hair regeneration in response to different internal-stress settings. Further investigation on macrophage dynamics will provide novel cell-targeting therapies for HF engineering and hair loss.

Abstract
Cellular transition to hypoxia following tissue injury, has been shown to improve angiogenesis and regeneration in multiple tissues. To take advantage of this, many hypoxia-mimicking scaffolds have been prepared, yet the oxygen access state of implanted artificial small-diameter vascular grafts (SDVGs) has not been investigated. Therefore, the oxygen access state of electrospun PCL grafts implanted into rat abdominal arteries was assessed. The regions proximal to the lumen and abluminal surfaces of the graft walls were normoxic and only the interior of the graft walls was hypoxic. In light of this differential oxygen access state of the implanted grafts and the critical role of vascular regeneration on SDVG implantation success, we investigated whether modification of SDVGs with HIF-1α stabilizer dimethyloxalylglycine (DMOG) could achieve hypoxia-mimicking responses resulting in improving vascular regeneration throughout the entirety of the graft wall. Therefore, DMOG-loaded PCL grafts were fabricated by electrospinning, to support the sustained release of DMOG over two weeks. In vitro experiments indicated that DMOG-loaded PCL mats had significant biological advantages, including: promotion of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) proliferation, migration and production of pro-angiogenic factors; and the stimulation of M2 macrophage polarization, which in-turn promoted macrophage regulation of HUVECs migration and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contractile phenotype. These beneficial effects were downstream of HIF-1α stabilization in HUVECs and macrophages in normoxic conditions. Our results indicated that DMOG-loaded PCL grafts improved endothelialization, contractile SMCs regeneration, vascularization and modulated the inflammatory reaction of grafts in abdominal artery replacement models, thus promoting vascular regeneration.

Abstract
There are many studies devoted to the role of hair follicle stem cells in wound healing as well as in follicle self-restoration. At the same time, the influence of the inflammatory cells on the hair follicle cycling in both injured and intact skin is well established. Immune cells of all wound healing stages, including macrophages, γδT cells, and T regs, may activate epidermal stem cells to provide re-epithelization and wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis. In addition to the ability of epidermal cells to maintain epidermal morphogenesis through differentiation program, they can undergo de-differentiation and acquire stem features under the influence of inflammatory milieu. Simultaneously, a stem cell compartment may undergo re-programming to adopt another fate. The proportion of skin resident immune cells and wound-attracted inflammatory cells (e.g., neutrophils and macrophages) in wound-induced hair follicle anagen and plucking-induced anagen is still under discussion to date. Experimental data suggesting the role of reactive oxygen species and prostaglandins, which are uncharacteristic of the intact skin, in the hair follicle cycling indicates the role of neutrophils in injury-induced conditions. In this review, we discuss some of the hair follicles stem cell activities, such as wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis, hair follicle cycling, and re-epithelization, through the prism of inflammation. The plasticity of epidermal stem cells under the influence of inflammatory microenvironment is considered. The relationship between inflammation, scarring, and follicle neogenesis as an indicator of complete wound healing is also highlighted. Taking into consideration the available data, we also conclude that there may exist a presumptive interlink between the stem cell activation, inflammation and the components of programmed cell death pathways.

Abstract
The role of innate immunocytes such as mast cells, γδ T cells, NK cells and macrophages (MACs) in hair growth control under physiological and pathological conditions has recently begun to be re-explored. Here, we revisit the role of resident perifollicular macrophages (pfMACs) located in the hair follicle (HF) mesenchyme (CTS). Substantial, stringently timed fluctuations in the number and localization of pfMACs were first observed long ago during murine HF morphogenesis and cycling. This already suggested some involvement of these innate immunocytes, with a recognized role in tissue remodelling and in hair growth control. The relatively recent demonstration of a Wnt signalling-driven crosstalk between these immunocytes and HF epithelial stem cells in telogen HFs, which promotes anagen induction, has reinvigorated interest in the role that pfMAC plays in hair biology. Besides the apoptosis-associated secretion of stem cell-activating Wnts and the differential secretion of HF-targeting growth factors such as FGF-5 and FGF5s from pfMACs, we also explore how MAC polarization, and thus function, may be influenced by the local metabolic and immune environment. Moreover, we examine how pfMACs may contribute to hair cycle-associated angiogenesis, vascular remodelling, HF immune privilege and immunopathology. On this basis, we discuss why targeting pfMACs may be relevant in the management of hair growth disorders. Finally, we argue that studying pfMACs offers an excellent, clinically relevant model system for characterizing and experimentally manipulating MAC interactions with an easily accessible mammalian, continuously remodelled (mini-)organ under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the research progress of the cell sources and related signaling pathways of the wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) in recent years. METHODS The literature related to WIHN in recent years was reviewed, and the cell sources and molecular mechanism were summarized and discussed. RESULTS Current research shows that WIHN is a rare regeneration phenomenon in the skin of adult mammals, with multiple cell origins, both hair follicle stem cells and epithelial stem cells around the wound. Its molecular mechanism is complicated, which is regulated by many signaling pathways. Besides, the process is closely related to the immune response, the immunocytes and their related cytokines provide suitable conditions for this process. CONCLUSION There are still many unsolved problems on the cellular origins and molecular mechanisms of the WIHN. Further study on the mechanisms will enhance the understanding of adult mammals' hair follicle regeneration and may provide new strategy for functional healing of the human skin.

Abstract
Human and murine skin wounding commonly results in fibrotic scarring, but the murine wounding model wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN) can frequently result in a regenerative repair response. Here, we show in single-cell RNA sequencing comparisons of semi-regenerative and fibrotic WIHN wounds, increased expression of phagocytic/lysosomal genes in macrophages associated with predominance of fibrotic myofibroblasts in fibrotic wounds. Investigation revealed that macrophages in the late wound drive fibrosis by phagocytizing dermal Wnt inhibitor SFRP4 to establish persistent Wnt activity. In accordance, phagocytosis abrogation resulted in transient Wnt activity and a more regenerative healing. Phagocytosis of SFRP4 was integrin-mediated and dependent on the interaction of SFRP4 with the EDA splice variant of fibronectin. In the human skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa, phagocytosis of SFRP4 by macrophages correlated with fibrotic wound repair. These results reveal that macrophages can modulate a key signaling pathway via phagocytosis to alter the skin wound healing fate.

Abstract
The ability to manipulate the mammalian hair cycle will lead to novel therapies and strategies to combat all forms of alopecia. Thus, in addition to the epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in the hair follicle, niche and microenvironmental signals that accompany the phases of growth, regression and rest need to be scrutinized. Immune cells are well described in skin homeostasis and wound healing and have recently been shown to play an important role in the mammalian hair cycle. In this review, we will summarize our current knowledge of the role of immune cells in hair cycle control and discuss their relevance to human hair cycling disorders. Increased attention to this aspect of the hair cycle will provide new avenues to manipulate hair regeneration in humans and provide better insight into developing better ex vivo models of hair growth.

Abstract
Wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) is a phenomenon that occurs in adult mammalian skin, where fully functional hair follicles are regenerated in the center of large full-thickness excisional wounds. Although originally discovered over 50 years ago in mice and rabbits, within the last decade it has received renewed interest, as the molecular mechanism has begun to be defined. This de novo regeneration of hair follicles largely recapitulates embryonic hair development, requiring canonical Wnt signaling in the epidermis, however, important differences between the two are beginning to come to light. TLR3 mediated double stranded RNA sensing is critical for the regeneration, activating retinoic acid signaling following wounding. Inflammatory cells, including Fgf9-producing γ-δ T cells and macrophages, are also emerging as important mediators of WIHN. Additionally, while dispensable in embryonic hair follicle development, Shh signaling plays a major role in WIHN and may be able to redirect cells fated to scarring wounds into a regenerative phenotype. The cellular basis of WIHN is also becoming clearer, with increasing evidence suggesting an incredible level of cellular plasticity. Multiple stem cell populations, along with lineage switching of differentiated cells all contribute towards the regeneration present in WIHN. Further study of WIHN will uncover key steps in mammalian development and regeneration, potentially leading to new clinical treatments for hair-related disorders or fibrotic scarring.

Abstract
Introduction: In the past 30 years, only two drugs have received FDA approval for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia reflecting a lack of success in unraveling novel targets for pharmacological intervention. However, as our knowledge of hair biology improves, new signaling pathways and organogenesis processes are being uncovered which have the potential to yield more effective therapeutic modalities. Areas covered: This review focuses on potential targets for drug development to treat hair loss. The physiological processes underlying the promise of regenerative medicine to recreate new functional hair follicles in bald scalp are also examined. Expert opinion: The discovery of promising new targets may soon enable treatment options that modulate the hair cycle to preserve or extend the growth phase of the hair follicle. These new targets could also be leveraged to stimulate progenitor cells and morphogenic pathways to reactivate miniaturized follicles in bald scalp or to harness the potential of wound healing and embryogenic development as an emerging paradigm to generate new hair follicles in barren skin.
