Abstract (original English)

Background The increased incidence of androgenic alopecia (AGA) causes adverse physiological and psychological effects on people of all genders. The hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) have displayed clinical improvements on AGA. However, the molecular mechanism of HFSCs against AGA remains elusive. Methods The expression and prognosis of lncRNA AC010789.1 in AGA hair follicle tissues were assessed by qRT-PCR analysis. CCK-8, EdU and Transwell analysis were utilized to assess cell growth. The specific binding between AC010789.1 and FTO mediated m 6 A modification or the effect of AC010789.1 on hnRNPA2B1, S100A8 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling expression was confirmed by bioinformatic analysis, RIP, RNA pull-down and Western blot assay. The effects of Exosome-loaded AC010789.1 prompted HFSCs proliferation and hair follicle regeneration were confirmed in hairless mice. Results We herein found that the mRNA levels of lncRNA AC010789.1 were decreased in AGA tissue samples but increased in HFSCs of surrounding normal tissue samples. Overexpression (OE) of AC010789.1 promoted HFSC proliferation, DNA synthesis and migration as well as K6HF and Lgr5 upregulation, whereas knockdown of AC010789.1 showed the opposite effects. The total or AC010789.1 m 6 A levels were reduced and FTO demethylase was upregulated in AGA tissue samples, but these indicated the reverse results in HFSCs of surrounding
