Description

Use of AT-007 in preventing and treating androgenetic alopecia
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medicines, in particular to application of AT-007 in preventing and treating androgenetic alopecia.
Background
Androgenetic alopecia (Androgenetic Alopecia, AGA), also known as seborrheic alopecia or premature alopecia, is a common alopecia disorder characterized by hair follicle miniaturization and progressive hair loss, the most common type of male pattern baldness, but can also occur in females. AGA is gradually converted to vellus hair by genetic susceptibility and androgen-hypersensitive hair follicles to scalp terminal hair, with high prevalence and possibly severe psychological and social effects. The pathogenesis of AGA is closely related to the biological effects of androgens. Androgens are important hormones in the growth and development of the human body, testosterone is the main and most active androgen in men, and testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (dihydrotestosterone, DHT) by type II 5-a reductase (SRD 5 A2). Androgen Receptor (AR) in hair follicle has a strong affinity for DHT compared to testosterone, and when excessive DHT is present, AR binds to DHT, changes the protein shape, and initiates a signaling cascade to miniaturize hair follicle, thereby affecting the normal growth cycle of hair.
Currently, treatment of AGA still faces a number of challenges. The U.S. food and drug administration has only approved two drugs for AGA treatment: minoxidil and oral finasteride are topically applied. Minoxidil is capable of promoting blood circulation of hair follicles, thereby stimulating hair growth, but its therapeutic effect is often temporary. Finasteride, as a competitive and specific 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, is effective in reducing DHT production, slowing or reversing the hair loss process, but finasteride application may be accompanied by side effects such as sexual dysfunction. In addition to the above drugs, there are several emerging therapeutic technologies currently being used in the treatment of AGA, including microneedle therapy, platelet rich plasma injection, low intensity laser therapy, hair follicle transplantation surgery, and the use of adipose tissue-derived stem cell component extracts. While these methods provide more treatment options for AGA patients, there are individual limitations. For example, these treatments vary greatly in effect from individual to individual, the cost of treatment can be very high, and the safety and long-term efficacy of certain techniques have not been fully investigated and validated. Thus, there is a need to develop more safe and effective treatment regimens.
Healthy and beautiful hair can give people a good image, so that people can feel more confident in interpersonal interaction, and people pay more attention to preventing and treating alopecia. In the field, a safe and efficient medicine is still needed to be searched for effectively preventing and treating androgenetic alopecia.

Day 1 to Day28: starting on the first Day of the experiment (Day 1), mice of the DHT group and AT-007/DHT group received a 200 μl subcutaneous injection of DHT solution once daily for 28 consecutive days. AT the same time, the AT-007/DHT group mice received an additional daily intraperitoneal injection of the same dose of AT-007 solution.
(3) Observing and recording shooting records: on days 0, 8, 15, 21 and 28 of the experiment, the back treated area of the mice was photographed to record the growth of hair, as shown in fig. 1. In FIG. 1, control represents a Control group, DHT represents a DHT group, and AT-007/DHT represents an AT-007/DHT group.
Day 28: at the end of the experiment, back skin samples of all mice were collected for biological index analysis of example 2 and example 3.
Example 2 hematoxylin-eosin (H & E) staining of mouse skin tissue
A skin sample of 1 square centimeter (1 cm. Times.1 cm) was taken from the back of the mice, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, dehydrated and paraffin embedded, and 5 μm slices were cut and baked in an oven at 60 ℃. Then treated in xylene for 15min to remove paraffin, followed by a second soak to ensure adequate dewaxing. Next, the sections were stained in an aqueous hematoxylin solution for 5min, followed by washing with running water for 15min. After staining, the sections were dehydrated step by step in 75% and 90% ethanol for 10min per stage. Finally, the sections were immersed in 0.5% ethanol-eosin staining solution for 2min and rinsed with running water for 1min. The dyed slice is dehydrated by absolute ethyl alcohol and then is transparent treated in dimethylbenzene again for 3min, and the process is repeated once. Thereafter, the encapsulation was performed using a neutral resin. The sections after the sealing were placed under a microscope for observation and photographing.
The H & E staining results of the back skin of each group of mice after 28 days of treatment are shown in fig. 2, including H & E staining observation (a), hair follicle length statistics (b) and skin thickness statistics (c). In FIG. 2, control represents a Control group, DHT represents a DHT group, and AT-007/DHT represents an AT-007/DHT group.
Example 3 preparation of skin melanin-stained sections of mice: the sections of example 2 were placed in a 55℃incubator for 30min pre-heating to complete dewaxing and antigen retrieval. Cleaning: the sections were washed 1 time with distilled water. Melanin staining: the sections were treated with ferrous sulfate solution for 1 hour. Cleaning: the solution was again washed 3 times with distilled water. The reaction: dropwise adding potassium ferricyanide acetic acid solution, and treating for 30min. Cleaning: washing with glacial acetic acid solution for 3s and spin-drying. Van Gieson dyeing: dyeing for 1min. Dehydration and transparency: the mixture is treated with 95% ethanol for 30s, dehydrated with absolute ethanol and finally subjected to transparent treatment with xylene. Sealing piece: the encapsulation was performed with neutral gum.
The melanin-staining results of the skin of each group of mice were observed and photographed and subjected to quantitative analysis of melanin staining by the following method: and (3) using IHC Toolbox of Image J software to frame and select the color of the positive part, then automatically sketching the positive area of the melanin dyeing, adjusting a proper color threshold, respectively selecting the positive area and all the dyeing areas to obtain an area value, and calculating the percentage of the positive area/the total area of the melanin dyeing to obtain a result.
The results of melanin staining of the skin of each group of mice are shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, control represents a Control group, DHT represents a DHT group, and AT-007/DHT represents an AT-007/DHT group.
Data analysis
① Figure 1 shows back hair growth of control, DHT and AT-007/DHT mice on days 0, 8, 15, 21 and 28 of the experiment. On days 8 and 15 of the early trial, mice in the control group and the AT-007/DHT group showed significant hair regrowth, while the back skin of the DHT group mice remained pink with no hair growth. As the experiment proceeded to day 21 and day 28, the control group had hair restoration near complete regeneration, and the AT-007/DHT group mice had more pronounced hair regeneration and darkened skin color. In contrast, DHT group mice did not begin to exhibit local hair regrowth until day 28 of the experiment.
The results indicate that AT-007 can promote hair regeneration in DHT-induced AGA model mice.
② Fig. 2 shows the H & E staining results for each treatment group. The staining results of figures 2a and 2b show that anagen hair was longer in the AT-007/DHT group than in the DHT group mice and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.0001), AT-007/DHT group hair was longer than in the Control group and the differences were statistically significant (p=0.0055). Comparison of the dermis thickness results for each treatment group (FIGS. 2a and 2 c) shows that both the Control and AT-007/DHT groups have dermis thicknesses thicker than that of the DHT group and that the difference is statistically significant (P < 0.05), but the difference in dermis thickness for the Control and AT-007/DHT groups is not statistically significant. AT-007 was shown to interfere with DHT-induced hair growth inhibition and dermal thickness thinning with hair regrowth promoting effects.
③ Fig. 3 uses ferrous sulfate to evaluate melanin levels in the skin of different groups of mice. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the skin of the mice in the DHT group had little melanin staining, the Control group and the AT-007/DHT group had higher levels of melanin than the DHT group and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), but the difference between the Control group and the AT-007/DHT group was not statistically significant. It was shown that AT-007 may promote melanogenesis.
Therefore, based on the above results, it was revealed that AT-007 has the effects of promoting hair regeneration, increasing hair length and melanogenesis of hair follicle. Can effectively resist hair loss caused by DHT, shows the potential value of AT-007 in treating AGA, and provides a new scheme for AGA treatment.
The raw materials and equipment used in the invention are common raw materials and equipment in the field unless specified otherwise; the methods used in the present invention are conventional in the art unless otherwise specified.
The foregoing description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and any simple modification, variation and equivalent transformation of the above embodiment according to the technical substance of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
