Abstract (original English)

Background Hair loss is a prevalent medical problem in both men and women. Maintaining the potential hair inductivity of dermal papilla cells (DPCs) during cell culture is the main factor in hair follicle morphogenesis and regeneration. The present study was conducted to compare the effects of different concentrations of human hair outer root sheath cell (HHORSC) and platelet lysis (PL) exosomes to maintain hair inductivity of the human dermal papilla cells (hDPCs). Methods In this study, hDPCs and HHORSCs were isolated from healthy hair samples. Specific markers of hDPCs (versican, α-SMA) and HHORSCs (K15) were evaluated using flow cytometric and immunocytochemical techniques. The exosomes were isolated from HHORSCs and PL with ultracentrifugation technique. Western blot was used to detect specific markers of HHORSCs and PL exosomes. Particle size and distribution of the exosomes were analyzed by NanoSight dynamic light NanoSight Dynamic Light Scattering. Different methods such as proliferation test (MTS assay), migration test (Transwell assay) were used to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of exosomes (2,550,100 µg/ml) derived from HHORSC and PL on hDPCs. Expression of specific genes in the hair follicle inductivity, including ALP, versican and α-SMA were also evaluated using real time-PCR. Results The flow cytometry of the specific cytoplasmic markers of the h
