摘要
Background: The p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) is a death factor (apoptosis-promoting protein) that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily of membrane proteins. In the murine hair follicle (HF) model, p75NTR plays a critical role during HF morphogenesis, functioning as a receptor that negatively controls HF development. p75NTR signaling is involved in the control of keratinocyte apoptosis during catagen. To date, knowledge about the expression pattern of p75NTR protein in human scalp skin and HFs is limited. In this investigation we hypothesized that p75NTR protein is expressed in human scalp skin and its expression in HFs fluctuates with the transitions from anagen -> catagen -> telogen stages. Methods: To test this hypothesis, the immunoreactivity of p75NTR protein was examined in human scalp skin by immunofluorescent and immunoalkaline phosphatase methods. A total of 50 normal-appearing human scalp skin biopsy specimens were examined (healthy women age 53-57 years). In each case, 50 HFs were analyzed (35, 10, and 5 follicles in anagen, catagen, and telogen, respectively). Results: We found variations in p75NTR protein expression with HF cycling. p75NTR expression was negligible in early, mid, and mature anagen and weak during late anagen. p75NTR expression was moderate during anagen-catagen transition. It was strong in both catagen and telogen HF. Also, p75NTR protein expression was strong in the stratum corneum (epidermis), dermal fibroblasts, blood vessels, nerve endings, adipocytes, and both sebaceous and sweat glands. Limitations: Our knowledge about other proteins (prosurvival and pro-apoptotic molecules) interacting with p75 is incomplete. Conclusions: Our investigation reports, for the first time, the expression patterns of p75NTR in human scalp skin and HFs. p75NTR protein expression exhibited significant hair cycle-dependent fluctuation, Suggesting a possible role in human HF biology.
