We further examined the change of expression level of mRNA of various factors in bald DPCs cocultured with keratinocytes after androgen treatment by semiquantitative RT-PCR and found that TGF-beta1 was increased by androgen in bald DPCs.

Moreover, the neutralizing anti-TGF-beta1 antibody antagonized the inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation in this co-culture system in a dose dependent manner. From these data obtained using our novel powerful coculture model for AGA, we suggest that androgen-inducible TGF-beta1 derived from DPCs mediates hair growth suppression in AGA.
