Objective: Androgenetic alopecia (AGA), a common alopecia, is often accompanied by abnormal expression of multiple miRNAs. This study aims to investigate abnormally expressed miRNAs in patients with AGA and their specific molecular mechanism.Methods: miRNA microarray profiling and qRT-PCR validation were used to screen and verify abnormally expressed miRNAs in patients with AGA. Human hair follicles (HFs) were treated with different concentrations of dihydmtestosterone (DHT, 10(-5), 10(-6), 10(-7) and 10(-8) mol/L) for 10 days. The effects of DHT on HF growth, proliferation, and miRNA expression in cultured HFs were investigated using immunofluorescence staining and qRT-PCR. Moreover, human dermal papilla cells (HDPCs) were treated/transfected with a Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activator and/or miR-133b mimic, and then the CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate HDPC proliferation. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to measure the expression of Versican, ALP and beta-cateninResults: miRNA microarray profiling identified 43 miRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed in AGA patients, and qRT-PCR verified that 8 miRNAs were significantly differentially expressed. The expression of miR133b was abnormally high in AGA patients. DHT (10 -5 mol/L) inhibited human HF growth and upregulated miR-133b expression, and DHT (10 -7 mol/L) induced human HF growth and downregulated miR-133b expression. HDPC proliferation was inhibited, and the expression of beta-catenin was downregulated in the miR133b mimic-transfected group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activator treatment significantly promoted HDPC proliferation and upregulated the expression of beta-catenin (P < 0.05). In addition, the proliferation of HDPCs was not significantly different between the group cotreated with a Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activator and miR-133b mimic, and the control group (P > 0.05), but the expression of Versican and ALP was suppressed in the cotreatment group (P < 0.05)Conclusion: Our data indicated that patients with androgenic alopecia have specific miRNA expression profiles and that the abnormal expression of miR-133b may inactivate the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway and ultimately regulate hair growth.
