Epithelium–mesenchyme compartment interaction and oncosis on chemotherapy-induced hair damage

Abstract: It is known that chemotherapy induces alopecia in humans, with important psychological and social implications in spite of its reversibility. Among chemotherapeutic drugs, anthracyclines are widely used, yet cause severe alopecia. One of the causes for the elevated sensibility of hair follicles to anthracyclines, and to drugs in general, is the high proliferation rate of follicular epithelium and the long duration of the growth phase (up to 7 years in humans). To clarify the mechanism of anthracycline toxicity… Show more

“…In this paper, using an appropriate animal model, we studied the expression of caveolin-1 during the different stages of the hair follicle life cycle, both before and after chemotherapy-induced alopecia. 20,21 We observed caveolin-1 expression within the bulge region of the hair follicle and we suggest that caveolae might be involved in stem cell survival during chemotherapy, subsequently allowing follicle regrowth.…”

“…Although the present data cannot be immediately associated with studies of alopecia involving the drugs, they should contribute to our understanding of the way that these drugs interact with the hair follicle as a refined miniorgan, the life cycle of which depends upon a complex series of interactions between the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments (Tobin et al 2003;Selleri et al 2004).…”
