2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional in vivo evaluation system for a hair restorer,
Although the C3H mouse hair growth test is useful as a method for evaluating only the hair growth promoting action, it was impossible to evaluate the suppression or delay of the catagen phase using the evaluation method. Therefore, it is difficult to evaluate in detail the effects of various hair restorers on suppressing or delaying the catagen, and it was necessary to find and measure an effective index relating to the catagen. Currently, it is thought that hair follicle cells undergo cell death called apoptosis during the regression phase of the hair cycle, and this apoptosis triggers hair growth (David Weed
on et al. Acta Dermatovener (Stockholm) 61: 335-369,
1981). In apoptotic cells, nuclear DNA is fragmented, producing mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes. However, in the hair cycle,
The production of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes has never been measured. The present inventors have found that as a biochemical indicator of the hair cycle, the total amount of mononucleosomes and oligonucleosomes in hair follicle-derived cells increases during the regression period of C3H mice. It was measured during the regression phase of the mouse hair cycle, and it was found that the effect of a useful hair restorer on the suppression or delay of the regression phase can be evaluated in detail (Japanese Patent Application No. 8-108).

In the case of o, the mechanism of action of apoptosis cannot be studied in detail, so an in vitro evaluation system is required. However, there is no evaluation system that induces hair follicle-derived epithelial cells to undergo apoptosis in vitro and measures the effect of suppressing the apoptosis. An object of the present invention is to provide an in vitro evaluation system for finding and measuring effective indices related to catagen, in order to evaluate in detail the effects of various hair restorers on suppressing or delaying catagen.
