Dermal papilla cells (DPC) control the growth character of the hair follicle through their elaboration of mitogenic factors and extracellular matrix components. Further, the dermal papilla is a primary site of androgen action in the hair follicle. Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) is prominent in skin wounding and inflammatory responses although regarded as a negative hair growth regulator. We studied the effect of IL-1 alpha and the potent androgen 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the expression of the androgen receptor (AR) and various factors secreted by cultured human temporal scalp DPC. IL-1 alpha triggered cellular changes consistent with nuclear factor-kappa B pathway activation as well as reduced AR mRNA and protein expression levels for DHT-stimulated DPC. This cytokine also increased DPC supernatant keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), IL-8 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) concentrations. IL-1 alpha did not influence DPC supernatant levels of transforming growth factor-beta 1, a negative hair growth regulator. The stimulatory effect of IL-1 alpha on DPC VEGF, GM-CSF, KGF, and IL-8 expression was also evident at the mRNA level for these cytokines. IL-1 alpha also increased mRNA transcript levels of protease-nexin-1, a secreted serine protease inhibitor expressed in the dermal papilla of anagen-stage hair follicles. Although DHT did not affect supernatant cytokine concentrations, the androgen altered mRNA transcript levels of several factors for DPC co-stimulated with IL-1 alpha. In consideration of its in vitro activity profile, IL-1 alpha may be an important modifier of dermal papilla activity as well as potentially influence androgen-regulated gene expression in DPC.
