Abstract
Stem cell activity is subject to non-cell-autonomous regulation from the local microenvironment, or niche. In adaption to varying physiological conditions and the ever-changing external environment, the stem cell niche has evolved with multifunctionality that enables stem cells to detect these changes and to communicate with remote cells/tissues to tailor their activity for organismal needs. The cyclic growth of hair follicles is powered by hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Using HFSCs as a model, we categorize niche cells into 3 functional modules, including signaling, sensing and message-relaying. Signaling modules, such as dermal papilla cells, immune cells and adipocytes, regulate HFSC activity through short-range cell-cell contact or paracrine effects. Macrophages capacitate the HFSC niche to sense tissue injury and mechanical cues and adipocytes seem to modulate HFSC activity in response to systemic nutritional states. Sympathetic nerves implement the message-relaying function by transmitting external light signals through an ipRGC-SCN-sympathetic circuit to facilitate hair regeneration. Hair growth can be disrupted by niche pathology, e.g. dysfunction of dermal papilla cells in androgenetic alopecia and influx of auto-reacting T cells in alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris. Understanding the functions and pathological changes of the HFSC niche can provide new insight for the treatment of hair loss.

In adaption to varying physiological conditions and the ever-changing external environment, the stem cell niche has evolved with multifunctionality that enables stem cells to detect these changes and to communicate with remote cells/tissues to tailor their activity for organismal needs. The cyclic growth of hair follicles is powered by hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). Using HFSCs as a model, we categorize niche cells into 3 functional modules, including signaling, sensing and message-relaying. Signaling modules, such as dermal papilla cells, immune cells and adipocytes, regulate HFSC activity through short-range cell-cell contact or paracrine effects. Macrophages capacitate the HFSC niche to sense tissue injury and mechanical cues and adipocytes seem to modulate HFSC activity in response to systemic nutritional states. Sympathetic nerves implement the message-relaying function by transmitting external light signals through an ipRGC-SCN-sympathetic circuit to facilitate hair regeneration. Hair growth can be disrupted by niche pathology, e.g. dysfunction of dermal papilla cells in androgenetic alopecia and influx of auto-reacting T cells in alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris. Understanding the functions and pathological changes of the HFSC niche can provide new insight for the treatment of hair loss.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><title>Keywords</title><kwd>Hair follicle stem cell</kwd><kwd>Niche</kwd><kwd>Function</kwd><kwd>Alopecia</kwd><kwd>Alopecia areata</kwd><kwd>Lichen planopilaris</kwd><kwd>Androgenetic alopecia</kwd><kwd>Therapy</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution-id institution-id-type="FundRef">http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100004663</institution-id><institution>Ministry of Science and Technology, Taiwan</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>MOST107-2314-B-002-064-MY3; 108-2811-B-002-583</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Lin</surname><given-names>Sung-Jan</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution-id institution-id-type="FundRef">http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100005762</institution-id><institution>National Taiwan University Hospital</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>UN108-029, 107S3781, 108-T17, 109-T17</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Lin</surname><given-names>Sung-Jan</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Taiwan National Health Research Institutes</institution></funding-source><award-id>NHRI-EX108-10811EI, NHRI-EX109-10811EI</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Lin</surname><given-names>Sung-Jan</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution>Taiwan Bio-Development Foundation</institution></funding-source><award-id>nil</award-id><principal-award-recipient><name><surname>Lin</surname><given-names>Sung-Jan</given-names></name></principal-award-recipient></award-group></funding-group><custom-meta-group><custom-meta><meta-name>issue-copyright-statement</meta-name><meta-value>© The Author(s) 2020</meta-value></custom-meta></custom-meta-group></article-meta></front><body><sec id="Sec1"><title>Background</title><p id="Par2">Hair forms a barrier to protect skin from external insults as well as to keep the body from temperature loss. Human hair, especially human scalp hair, also has important ornamental functions that are essential for social communication and senses of well-being. Unwanted hair loss can pose psychosocial distress to affected individuals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>]. Hair regeneration depends on the activation of hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. As the hair follicle (HF) is an integral part of skin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>], its growth and the activity of HFSCs are regulated by various nearby cells of the HFSC niche in the skin [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. We categorize the component cells of the HFSC niche into 3 groups according to their functions, including signaling, sensing and message-relaying. We review how HFSC activity is regulated by different signaling cells and how sensing and message-relaying cells help HFs to initiate a regenerative attempt in face of local injury and external environmental changes. In diseased states, we discuss how the pathological changes of the niche lead to dysregulated hair growth. In addition, we discuss how the influx or emergence of non-preexisting cells within the HFSC niche affects hair growth and depletes HFSCs. We also highlight the therapeutic implications of niche pathology with an aim to prevent hair loss and to promote hair growth.</p><sec id="Sec2"><title>Hair follicle structure, hair cycle and HFSC</title><p id="Par3">The HF is one of the few organs that undergo cyclic involution and regeneration throughout life [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. Structurally, HF is an epithelial organ consisting of two main parts: an epithelial cylinder composed of keratinocytes and the mesenchymal cells of dermal papilla (DP) and dermal sheath (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. During the hair cycle, HFs progress through anagen (growth), catagen (involution) and telogen (resting) phases and then re-enter anagen (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>]. Postnatal cycling and regeneration of HFs depend on sophisticated reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interaction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>].
<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label><caption><p>Hair follicle structure, hair follicle stem cell and hair cycle. Quiescent HFSCs reside in the bulge region and primed HFSCs are located in the secondary hair germ. They are transiently activated in early anagen, giving rise to progeny that grow down to form the lower portion of HFs. HFs progress through catagen (regressing phase), telogen (resting phase) and anagen (growing phase) cyclically. Matrix cells in the hair bulb actively proliferate and differentiate to support the continued elongation of the hair shaft in anagen. In catagen, the hair bulb shrinks and the lower portion of the HF regresses through a progressively shortened epithelial strand into the telogen HF. In telogen, HFSCs in the secondary hair germ and bulge remain inactivated</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="12929_2020_624_Fig1_HTML" id="MO1"></graphic></fig></p><p id="Par4">Over the past 3 decades, progress has been made in understanding how the growth of HFs is regulated, particularly due to the discovery of HFSCs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>]. HFSCs are first identified as slow-cycling label-retaining cells located in the bulge epithelium [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>]. In addition to this population of relatively quiescent stem cells, HFs harbor another population of primed stem cells with faster activation dynamics in the secondary hair germ of telogen HFs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. HF regeneration from telogen to anagen is fueled by the coordinated activation of these two cell populations: primed HFSCs in the secondary hair germ are first activated, followed by the activation of quiescent HFSCs in the bulge later [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec3"><title>Signals and signaling cells within HFSC niche</title><p id="Par5">By definition, HF itself does not require the existence of surrounding niche cells to become a HF [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. However, the integration of a variety of surrounding niche cells confer emergent functions on HFSCs, especially its ability to respond to changes of local, systemic and even external environments to begin a regenerative scheme or to remain quiescent. In diseased states, pathological infiltration of non-preexisting cells in the HFSC niche can lead to dysregulated hair growth. What constitutes the microenvironment that regulates HFSC activity and hair growth? Due to the continuous advance in hair research, more and more cell types (Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>), including DP cells, adipose tissue, lymphatic vessels, nerves and immune cells, are identified to be contributing to the HFSC niche [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>], unveiling the complexity and sophistication in the interaction of HFSCs with its environment. Since activating and inhibitory signals can both be present in the HFSC niche, the probability of HFSC activation is the readout of the summation of both activating and inhibitory signals [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>]. The two major counteracting signals are the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathways [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR39">39</xref>]. High BMP signaling keeps HFSCs in an inactivated state, while Wnt/β-catenin signaling promotes HFSC activation and maintains HF growth [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR40">40</xref>]. Moreover, the TGF-β2, Foxp1 and oncostatin M signaling pathways have also been shown to regulate hair cycle [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR41">41</xref>] . Factors that are able to tilt the balance of Wnt/β-catenin and BMP signaling can modulate HFSC activity, thereby suppressing or promoting anagen entry [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR42">42</xref>].

This is analogous to the design of a spaceship. The combination of different functional modules increases the functionality of the spaceship. Message-relaying modules allowed the communication between the Apollo 11 and NASA space center. The lunar module endowed Apollo 11 with an important function to land human on the moon. From this perspective, we divide HFSC niche cells into 3 functional modular categories: signaling, sensing and message-relaying (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). Signaling cells directly provide activating or inhibitory signals for HFSCs through ligand secretion or cell-cell contact. Sensing cells detect the changes of local environmental cues and then directly or indirectly instruct HFSCs to remain quiescent or become activated. Message-relaying cells are capable of transmitting remote signals to the HFSC niche and then directly or indirectly modulate HFSC activity. Of note is that a single niche cell type can exhibit more than one function. We speculate that the co-option of various functional modules within a stem cell niche enables the animals to adapt their regenerative activity to the changing environment and to the altering physiological needs, thereby ameliorating the organismal fitness during evolution.

HFs can be arrested in prolonged telogen during experimental calorie restriction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR133">133</xref>]. How HFSCs detect the systemic nutritional states is unclear. One possibility is that HFSCs can directly sense the systemic nutritional changes. mTOR signaling is a key pathway for metabolic response to the nutritional state [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR134">134</xref>]<bold>,</bold> and upregulated mTOR signaling is essential for HFSC activation in the early anagen and regeneration following ionizing radiation injury [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR135">135</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR136">136</xref>]. HFSCs might tune its mTOR signaling according to the changes of systemic nutrition. The other possibility is that the nutritional states are detected by niche cells, such as adipocytes. In the intestine, calorie restriction reduces mTOR activity in the niche Paneth cells [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR137">137</xref>]. Subsequently, Paneth cells signal to intestinal SCs to increase intestinal SC numbers. Clinical observation suggests that obesity might negatively affect hair growth [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR138">138</xref>]. Adipocytes might regulate HFSCs through the release of adipokines according the systemic nutritional states [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR127">127</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="Sec10"><title>Signals from sensory nerves and message-relaying function of sympathetic nerves to activate HFSCs via an ipRGC-SCN-sympathetic circuit</title><p id="Par24">HF is a highly innervated sensory organ. The non-encapsulated endings of sensory nerve surround HFs for the mechanosensory function [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR139">139</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR140">140</xref>]. In HFs, sensory nerves innervate upper bulge to form the sensory piloneural niche (Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR139">139</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR140">140</xref>]. Through secreting SHH ligands, this sensory piloneural niche maintains higher hedgehog signaling activity in the HFSCs of the upper bulge region [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. Although this sensory piloneural niche does not significantly affect hair regeneration, the ability of the upper bulge cells to repair epidermal injury is dependent on the sustained upregulation of hedgehog signaling [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>].</p><p id="Par25">The piloerection function of HFs relies on the ordered integration of sympathetic nerves and arrector pili muscle around HFs. Sympathetic nerves not only densely surround arrector pili muscle but also loop around HFSCs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR140">140</xref>]. It is intriguing whether sympathetic nerves around the HFs have dual roles in both piloerection (goosebumps) and HFSC regulation. In the bone marrow, sympathetic nerves control multiple functions of hematopoietic SCs, including their mobilization, maintenance of young functional signature and regeneration from chemotherapeutic injury [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR141">141</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR143">143</xref>]. Sympathetic nerves also transduce the central circadian rhythms to hematopoietic SCs for their daily rhythmic oscillating egress from the bone marrow [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR143">143</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR145">145</xref>]. Clinical observation showed that hypertrichosis in the form of “hemitrichosis” can be a result of sympathetic nerve hyperactivity due to thoracic surgical injury [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR145">145</xref>], suggesting a stimulating effect of sympathetic nerves to hair growth. Early experiments suggested that sympathetic nerves might promote anagen progression after HFSCs are activated in the physiological state [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR140">140</xref>]. We found that light can stimulate hair growth not only directly through cutaneous irradiation but also indirectly through the eyes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR43">43</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR146">146</xref>]. Light irradiation to murine eyes, a danger signal to nocturnal animals, is detected by the non-conventional photoreceptor melanopsin of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>]. Light signals are transmitted via ipRGCs to the suprachiasmatic nucleus to activate the systemic sympathetic system. A high sympathetic tone increases local norepinephrine release which subsequently upregulates hedgehog signaling in HFSCs, promoting their activation. Therefore, sympathetic nerves are the niche gateway for internal HFSCs to communicate with the external world by relaying the external light signals to the HFSC niche. Therapeutically, stimulating adrenergic receptors of HFSCs can be a way to promote hair growth.

Accumulative results have helped to identify various component cells of the HFSC niche and to elucidate how these niche cells influence HFSCs. The integration of functional distinctive niche modules, such as signaling, sensing and message-relaying modules, has added the complexity of HFSC regulation and also allows HFSCs to interact with the local, systemic and external environments to adapt their activity for tissue needs. Pathological changes of the HFSC niche can lead to dysregulated hair growth or HFSC loss in diseased states. Studying how HFSCs are regulated by the niche in the physiological and diseased states can uncover new therapeutic targets to prevent hair loss as well as to promote hair regeneration.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn><p><bold>Publisher’s Note</bold></p><p>Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.</p></fn></fn-group><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>Not applicable.</p></ack><notes notes-type="author-contribution"><title>Authors’ contributions</title><p>CLC, WYH, EHCW, KYT and SJL wrote the manuscript.
