Effects of Natural Herbal Marker Compounds on Human Dermal Papilla Cell Growth Regulation

Many people around the world are stressed by hair loss, and drug-based therapies (minoxidil, finasteride) are available for the treatment of alopecia, but they have several side effects. Therefore, in order to reduce the side effects of anti-hair loss drugs, the use of new treatments using products developed from natural extracts has been emphasized. In this study, we focused on the mechanisms underlying the hair growth-promoting effects of marker compounds of natural herbal extracts. The 32 marker compounds of natural herbal (10 μM) were used to evaluate the growth of human hair follicle dermal papilla cells, the expression of mRNA genes, and the signaling transcription factor activities of Wnt and JAKs. Seven marker compounds were selected that induced equal or greater growth than minoxidil or tofacitinib in cell growth. For the seven marker compounds, we evaluated the expression of mRNA genes and the transcriptional activities of Wnt/β-catenin and IL-4/JAK3-STAT6, which are major signaling pathways that regulate hair growth. As a result of the evaluation, it was scientifically proven that the 4 marker compounds (honokiol, isoalantolactone, broussochalcone A, and 3-deoxysappanone B) induce hair growth. I have suggested the possibility of developing a natural product for improving hair loss with 4 marker compounds.
