The hypoxia‐inducible factors HIF‐1α or HIF‐2α form heterodimeric complexes with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT). HIF‐1α/ARNT and HIF‐2α/ARNT complexes activate hypoxia‐inducible genes that play critical roles in angiogenesis, anaerobic metabolism, and other processes in response to O2deprivation. HIF‐2α is known to regulate the function and/or differentiation of stem cells by activating the POU domain transcription factor Oct4; however, the precise underlying mechanism is unknown. This study examined the role of HIF‐2α/ARNT in hair development using conditional‐knockout mice, in whichArntwas specifically deleted in keratinocytes. In wild‐type mice, HIF‐2α and ARNT were highly expressed in the precortex above the hair matrix, an area containing differentiating stem cells. An analysis of hair size and type in these mice showed that loss of ARNT decreased the production of zigzag hairs, corresponding to reduced expression of HIF‐2α and induction of the mammalian cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitors p21Waf1/Cip1andp27Kip1The results suggest that the HIF‐2α/ARNT complex regulates hair follicle differentiationviainduction of p21Waf1/Cip1and possibly p27Kip1, as p27Kip1expression was not altered in ARNT knockout mice. The findings provide insight into a possible mechanism underlying hair growth disorders and can be useful for future studies on hair follicle response to insults, such as chemotherapy and ionizing radiation.—Imamura, Y., Tomita, S., Imanishi, M., Kihira, Y., Ikeda, Y., Ishizawa, K., Tsuchiya, K., Tamaki, T.
