|
• in mice suffering alopecia, the remaining hair is lighter or grey/white
• hair that grows back after depilation is often white
|
|
• melanin synthesis is reduced in these mice
|
|
• melanosomes are found in the outer root sheath keratinocytes
|
|
• Langerhans cells are found in higher numbers in the both the suprabasal and basal areas of the skin
• Langerhans cells are also found surrounding cysts
|
|
• 16 week old ventral skin has increased cellularity, dilated capillaries and increased numbers of immune cells
• increased numbers of macrophages, CD4 T cells, Langerhans cells, and mast cells are found in the dermis
|
|
• Langerhans cells are found in higher numbers in the both the suprabasal and basal areas of the skin
• Langerhans cells are also found surrounding cysts
|
|
• there is increased basal and utricular keratinocyte proliferation in these mice
|
|
• 16 week old ventral skin has increased cellularity, dilated capillaries and increased numbers of immune cells
• increased numbers of macrophages, CD4 T cells, Langerhans cells, and mast cells are found in the dermis
|
|
• in mice suffering alopecia, the remaining hair is lighter or grey/white
• hair that grows back after depilation is often white
|
|
• mice develop a progressive alopecia that starts ventrally on the legs and extends to most ventral regions and parts of the back
• by 16 weeks of age, 80% of ventral hair is loss and flaking occurs
• 30-40% of back hair is lost with additional hair loss occurring around the eyes by 16 weeks of age
• alopecia is less penetrant in about 20% of male mice
|
|
• initial hair appearance is delayed by 4-5 days
• follicular growth is delayed at 7 days post birth
|
|
• hypodermis is thin at 7 days post birth
|
|
• melanosomes are found in the outer root sheath keratinocytes
|
|
• the outer root sheath contains 4-6 cell layers instead of 1-2 cell layers
• intercellular gaps occur with these cells
• compound melanosomes are often found in these outer root sheets
|
|
• a dilatation of the piliary canal, a lack of hair shaft and/or filling of the canal with horny cells are observed
|
|
• hair follicles are disorganized in areas of partial hair loss
|
|
• hairless skin from 12 week old show signs of degenerating hair follicles
• presence of closed, round dermal cysts that are embedded in the reticular dermis and not connected to the skin's surface are also observed
|
|
• mice have impaired anagan initiation after depilation of dorsal hair
• while controls have uniform pigmentation 6 days after depilation, mutants do not show any pigmentation until 10 days post-depilation
• only patchy fur has developed in mutant mice 24 days after depilation while controls look normal
• hair that grows back after depilation is often white
|
|
• only 40% of mice are in the first telogen phase at 18 days of age compared to almost all age-matched controls being in telogen
• by 20 days of age, almost all mutants are in telogen phase
|
|
• many cysts are visible under the skin surface of hairless regions in all 13- to 15-week-old mutant females
• cysts form later and their number and size are reduced in a male mice without alopecia
• cysts are filled with cornified debris and sebum, and their wall consists of a multilayer keratinized epithelium containing a number of Langerhans cells
|
|
• increased dermal cellularity is often observed underneath the hyperplastic epidermis
• capillaries in the dermis are often dilated
|
|
• stratum corneum of mutant epidermis is thicker in mice at 10 days of age with differences observed in both dorsal and ventral skin
• the number of BrdU-positive keratinocytes was six- to sevenfold higher in
basal layer cells than in controls at 10 days of age
• no differences are detected at 18 days of age
|
|
• four viable suprabasal layers are present in wild-type mice compared to 1-2 layers in controls mice
• later in life when hair loss occurs, hyperplasia is seen in areas adjacent to disorganized hair follicles
• no differences are detected at 18 days of age
|
|
• ten days after birth the skin has a scaly appearance though this disappears by 17 days of age
|
|
• 10% of mutant mice exhibited minor crusted skin lesions, mainly seen in dorsal hairless areas, on the chin and behind the ears
|
|
• there is increased basal and utricular keratinocyte proliferation in these mice
|
|
• many cysts are visible under the skin surface of hairless regions in all 13- to 15-week-old mutant females
• cysts form later and their number and size are reduced in a male mice without alopecia
• cysts are filled with cornified debris and sebum, and their wall consists of a multilayer keratinized epithelium containing a number of Langerhans cells
