Abstract (original English)

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a prevalent non-scarring alopecia, poses significant therapeutic limitations due to the restricted efficacy and potential side effects of current interventions. Cell-derived nanovesicles (CNVs), noted for their biocompatibility and efficient delivery capacity, have been investigated as promising therapeutic carriers. Comparative studies of CNVs sourced from HaCat cells, adipose-derived stem cells, and dermal papilla cells demonstrated that those derived from dermal papilla cells exhibit enhanced cellular internalization and targeting specificity. Proteomic analyses revealed a notable suppression of Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) expression in balding scalp regions of AGA patients, suggesting involvement in cell cycle dysregulation and senescence-related processes. HDAC1-overexpressing nanovesicles were subsequently developed, characterized by high encapsulation efficiency, favorable biomimetic profiles, and cost-effective scalability. These engineered nanovesicles substantially improved cellular proliferation and migration capacities while mitigating dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-induced cytotoxicity. Transcriptomic evaluations suggested their role in promoting hair follicle regeneration via modulation of p53 and Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathways. To address limitations in intradermal delivery, a dissolvable microneedle platform was constructed to enable
