Q

What happens in the first stage of hair morphogenesis- 1. dermal signal and epidermal placode formation

A

-activators:
a) Wnt pathway (dermis, but also epidermis)-> beta catenin (dermis, but also epidermis)
b) ectodysplasin (EDA- for guard hair) -> NFkB- SHH
c) FGFs
d) transcription factors MSX1, MSX2
Inhibitors: BMP family

Q

What happens in stage 2, the 1. epithelial signal

A

-important for formation of the dermal papilla-germ formation
-depends on:
a) Wnt (epidermis)-> beta catenin
b) platelet - derived growth factor A (PDGF-A)
c) SHH

Q

What happens in second dermal signal, the 3. stage ( mice 2-3)

A

-down growth of HF -dermal papilla
-activated by :
a) SHH- activin aA (dermis)
b) SHH- hepatocyte GF (HGF) and its receptor c-Met
c) adhesion molecules like integrin

Q

What happens in IRS and hair fiber stage (mice 3-5)

A

-construction of the different layers of HF
-encapsulation by nerve endings and blood vessels
-formation of associated structures ( arrector pills muscle, glands)
-infiltration of melanocytes
-formation of the bulbous peg
Formation of the IRS and hair medula: BMP, Notch-1
Formation of hair shaft cortex: Wnt, FOX N1, HOX C13, desmogelin 4
Formation of the bulge for the stem cells
Formation of the sebaceous gland bulge: c-Myc, PPARgamma
Formation of HF pigmentary unit: stem cell factor/c-kit, endothelin-1 , Notch

17
Q

What happens in stage HF polarity and control of HF shape (stages 6-8)

A

-controled by SHH, Wnt signalling pathway , TGF-alpha and its receptor , transcription factor ETS2
-secondary HF develop on the extal (caudal) side of the hair germ

18
Q

From what structure forms HF

A

-from hair germs which are differentiation of stratum germinativum

19
Q

What are the stages of early and late anagen

A

Early anagen: I, II, IIIa, IIIb
-movement of DP in the SC fat, new hair reaches up to 2/3 of the follicle length
Late anagen: IIIc, IV, V, VI
-DP fully enclosed by the bulb, HS reaches epidermal surface

20
Q

What happens in early catagen

A

Stages I, II, III, IV
-DP changes form and moves upward
-mitotic activity of the bulb stops
-incerasing numbers of apoptotic KC

21
Q

What happens in late catagen

A

Stages: V,VI, VII, VIII
-DP moves towards dermis
-tail of trailing connective tissue sheath
-apoptosis and loss pf 70% of HF
-apoptosis lower and middle ORS , hair matrix and IRS
-cessation of melanogenesis
-ECM remodeling

22
Q

What happens in telogen

A

HS is retained in follicle
-DP in dermis
-no trailing connective tissue sheath
-full trichilemal keratinisation

23
Q

What is exogen

A

-phase of hair shedding
-independent of anagen (not by the tip of the new hair)
-PROTEASES: CATHEPSIN L (enzymatic process between hair and root sheath)
-it happens during anagen IV
-ACTIVE PROCESS

24
Q

What is kenogen

A

-hairless telogen
-HF lost the hair and it remains empty before anagen is initiated

25
Q

Name species of anagenic hair cycle

A

-dogs: bichon frise, Chinese crested, poodle, Yorkshire terrier,
-goats: Mohair , Angora
-merino sheep
-Angora rabbit

26
Q

Which hair is always in anagen and in which species

A

-horse
-main, tail, fetlock
-permanent hair

27
Q

What cells and glands determine cutaneous pH

A
  1. epidermal cells
  2. sebaceous glands
  3. Epitrichial (apocrine) glands
  4. Atrichial (eccrine) glands
28
Q

Name acidic substances that determine cutaneous pH

A
  1. Free fatty acids (KCs: phospholipids; ceramides; sebum; microbes)
  2. filaggrin breakdown products (urocanic acid, Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid , amino acids)
    3.cholesterol sulphate
  3. alpha-hydroxy acids (sweat, microbes): LACTIC, BUTYRIC
  4. amino acids (KC: fillagrin breakdown products; from sweat, sebum
29
Q

Name alkaline substances that determine cutaneous pH

A
  1. NH3 (atrichial sweat glands)
  2. CO2 (sweat)
  3. HCO3 (sweat)
30
Q

Name functions of cutaneous pH

A

1.Antimicrobial
2. Influences permeability barrier
3. Influences keratinisation-desquamation

31
Q

Normal values of cutaneous pH depend on:

A
  1. Species
  2. Depth (increased in deeper area of epidermis)
    3.Age (higher at young age)
  3. Sex (H in males, neutered females)
  4. Breed
  5. Skin area
  6. Sweat gland activity (atrichial Down, epitrichial up)
  7. Excitement (H)
  8. Exercise
  9. Circadian rhythm
