Skin and hair pigmentation phenotype of Yy1tm2.1Yshi/Yy1tm2.1Yshi Tg(Tyr-cre)1Lru/Y mice

pigmentation
• mice exhibit premature gray hair after the first hair cycle
• during the first hair cycle (P0-P28), P10 ventral hairs are essentially devoid of pigment, whereas hairs from dorsal skin are much less pigmented than those in control mice; however, white dorsal fur is observed by P45
• in the second hair cycle anagen phase (P28-P42), new dorsal hair follicles completely lack DCT+ melanocytes, corresponding to subsequent white dorsal fur seen at P45
• at P4, dorsal skin shows small amounts of residual hair follicle melanin; residual dorsal melanocytes (DCT+) continue to express YY1, indicating incomplete Cre-mediated deletion
• in the second hair cycle anagen phase (P28-P42), new dorsal hair follicles completely lack melanin pigment
• at P4, mice show profoundly lighter skin pigmentation relative to control mice
• mice exhibit complete loss of hair follicle melanocytes after the first hair cycle
