• with doxycycline induction starting at P1, mutants completely lack external hair when examined at P100-102
|
• induction at P4 of P7, reduced proliferation is observed in mutant follicles at P8 or P14
• with doxycycline induction starting at P1, mutant hair follicles show some structural abnormalities by P185
• with doxycycline induction from P4, follicles have slightly increased numbers of apoptotic cells
• with doxycycline treatment starting at P1, no follicle proliferation or hair shaft differentiation is observed; with withdrawal of dox at P100, these are restored
|
• when doxycline induction is performed at P4 or P7 and dorsal skin harvested at P8 or P14, hair follicles in treated skin show cessation of anagen
• with doxycycline treatment starting at P1, hair follicles are arrested in very early anagen; withdrawal of dox at P100 results in follicles spontaneously progressing to full anagen in 15 days
• with induction from P17 (catagen phase), follicles are arrested in early anagen at P30
• with doxycycline induction from P50 and hair plucking at P54, by P57 mutant hair follicles fail to progress through anagen
|
• when doxycline induction is performed at P4 or P7 and dorsal skin harvested at P8 or P14, hair follicles in treated skin show entry into a premature regression phase compared to controls
