Transepidermal UV radiation of scalp skin ex vivo induces hair follicle damage that is alleviated by the topical treatment with caffeine
Open accessAbstract
Objectives: Although the effect of ultraviolet radiation ( UVR ) on human skin has been extensively studied, very little is known on how UVR impacts on hair follicle ( HF ) homeostasis. Here, we investigated how solar spectrum UVR that hits the human skin surface impacts on HF biology, and whether any detrimental effects can be mitigated by a widely used cosmetic and nutraceutical ingredient, caffeine. Methods: Human scalp skin with terminal HF s was irradiated transepidermally ex vivo using either 10 J/cm 2 UVA (340–440 nm) + 20 mJ /cm 2 UVB (290–320 nm) (low dose) or 50 J/cm 2 UVA + 50 mJ /cm 2 UVB (high dose) and organ‐cultured under serum‐free conditions for 1 or 3 days. 0.1% caffeine (5.15 mmol/L) was topically applied for 3 days prior to UV exposure with 40 J/cm 2 UVA + 40 mJ /cm 2 UVB and for 3 days after UVR . The effects on various toxicity and vitality read‐out parameters were measured in defined skin and HF compartments. Results: Consistent with previous results, transepidermal UVR exerted skin cytotoxicity and epidermal damage. Treatment with high and/or low UVA + UVB doses also induced oxidative DNA damage and cytotoxicity in human HF s. In addition, it decreased proliferation and promoted apoptosis of HF outer root sheath ( ORS ) and hair matrix ( HM ) keratinocytes, stimulated catagen development, differentially regulated the expression of HF growth factors, and induced perifollicular mast cell degranulation. UVR ‐mediated HF damage was more severe after irradiation with high UVR dose and reached also proximal HF compartments. The topical application of 0.1% caffeine did not induce skin or HF cytotoxicity and stimulated the expression of IGF ‐1 in the proximal HF ORS . However, it promoted keratinocyte apoptosis in selected HF compartments. Moreover, caffeine provided protection towards UVR ‐mediated HF cytotoxicity and dystrophy, keratinocyte apoptosis, and tendential up‐regulation of the catagen‐promoting growth factor. Conclusion: Our study highlights the clinical relevance of our scalp UV irradiation ex vivo assay and provides the first evidence that transepidermal UV radiation negatively affects important human HF functions. This suggests that it is a sensible prophylactic strategy to integrate agents such as caffeine that can act as HF photoprotectants into sun‐protective cosmeceutical and nutraceutical formulations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
