Therapeutic role of human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in treating hair loss
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a paracrine hormone that plays an important role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition. HGF secreted by mesenchymal cells affects many properties of epithelial cells, such as proliferation, motility, and morphology. HGF has been reported to promote follicular growth. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the therapeutic role of HGF in hair loss trea...
متن کاملEstablishment of human hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells with overexpressed human hepatocyte growth factor
Objective(s): Chronic liver disease has become a major health problem that causes serious damage to human health. Since the existing treatment effect was not ideal, we need to seek new treatment methods. Materials and Methods: We utilized the gene recombination technology to obtain the human hair mesenchymal stem cells which overexpression of human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF). Furthermore, ...
متن کاملHuman hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the aqueous humor.
Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we measured the concentration of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in human aqueous humor and serum from 36 eyes of 33 patients and analyzed the relationship between HGF and several parameters of corneal endothelial cells. Aqueous HGF concentrations ranged from 0.020-0.194 ng/mL (average: 0.101 +/- 0.044 ng/mL) and was correlated positively with corneal ...
متن کاملTherapeutic strategies for treating hair loss
Here, we sketch why significant progress in the as yet very unsatisfactory pharmacological management of hair loss demands more rational strategies for ‘hair drug’ development, which effectively target defined key events in hair follicle cycling and transformation. Chiefly, drugs need to be identified that serve as inhibitors of catagen, exogen and/or the terminal-to-vellus transformation, or t...
متن کاملEssential role of HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) in blood formation in Xenopus.
In this study, we investigated the role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in blood formation during Xenopus development. First, we examined the gene expression of HGF and its receptor, c-met, by whole-mount in situ hybridization during development. Strong signals of HGF as well as c-met were detected early in the developing ventral mesoderm, which later gives rise to the ventral blood island. F...
