Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The bulge region of hair follicle has been reported as a putative reservoir of hair follicle stem cells. The purpose of this study was to compare hair follice CD34 negative (CD34-) cell with CD34 positive (CD34+) cell and to evaluate the ability to regenerate new hair of immunodeficient nude mouse.

METHODS AND RESULTS: In this report, we isolated the cells with CD34, known as bulge-negative cell surface marker from cultured human hair follicle cells using by magnetic cell sorting (MACS), injected the cells to immunodeficient nude mouse. To determine immunological characterization, human hair follicle CD34+ cells and CD34- cells were assessed by flow cytometry. The localization of injected-CD34+ cells was assessed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded mouse skin samples by in situ hybridization technique. Our findings show that the human hair follicle cells with cell surface marker CD34 were located in the outer root sheath of nude mouse after transplantation and the cells were able to regenerate new hair follicle in immunodeficient nude mouse. CD34- cells also were able to regenerate follicles in the mouse, however, CD34+ cells were able to regenerate much more hair follicle than CD34- cells.

CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, the results of this study add new insight into the investigation of CD34 stem cell-related molecule in human hair follicles and suggest that not all human hair follicle stem cells reside in bulge region, but in a lager niche.
