Effect of Wnt10b on the growth of mouse whisker follicles in vitro
Objective:To investigate the effect of Wnt10 b on the growth of mouse whisker follicles in vitro.Methods:Dct-Lac Z mouse was used to establish the model in vitro for the growth of whisker follicles.After Whisker follicles being infected with Ad-Wnt10 b and Ad-GFP for 2 days and 4 days
the length of whisker was measured
the melanocytes was observed by X-gal staining and the protein expression of tyrosinase-related protein 1(TRP-1)and tyrosinase(TYR)were measured by Western blot.Results:After being infected with adenoviruses for 4 days
the average growth length of Wnt10 b group was longer than that of GFP control group(0.58±0.03 vs.0.09±0.05
P<0.001);the number of melanocytes of the Wnt10 b group was more than that of the GFP control group.Wnt10 b significantly increased the protein expression of TRP-1 and TYR in the whisker follicles compared with that of GFP control group(1.14±0.16 vs.0.55±0.22
1.34±0.33 vs.0.77±0.09;P=0.020
P=0.045).Conclusion:Wnt10b may promote the growth of mouse whisker follicles in vitro.
