Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla cells are highly active mesenchymal cells isolated from the hair papilla embedded in extracellular matrix of scalp hair follicles. Dermal Papilla Cells play a significant role in controlling the hair growth cycle and production by involving in the epithelial-mesenchymal interaction of hair follicle cells. The Immortalized Human Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs) express DPC specific markers smooth muscle alpha actin and alkaline phosphatase and retain the ability to secrete growth factors such as VEGF, PIGF, bFGF, IGFBP-6 and GM-CSF. DCP-conditioned media have also been shown to increase proliferation of HaCaT cells in vitro and to accelerate hair growth in mice models. A list of up-regulated genes in the DPC can be found in the supporting document section below. The DPC serves as a useful tool for the study of hair growth regulation.

The stated values may vary under the end-user's culture conditions. Please verify that the product is suitable for your studies by referencing published papers or ordering RNA (0.5 mug, Cat.# C207, $450.00) or cell lysate (100 mug, Cat.# C206, $600.00) to perform preliminary experiments, or alternatively use our Gene Expression Assay Service (Cat# C138). All sales are final. 4. We recommend live cell shipments for ease of cell transfer and this option can be requested at the time of ordering. Please note that the end-user will need to evaluate the feasibility of live cell shipment by taking into account the final destination's temperature variation and its geographical location. In addition, we thoroughly test our cell lines for freeze-thaw recovery. If frozen cells were received and not recovered in your lab under the exact, specified conditions (using recommended culture vessel, media, additional supplements, and atmospheric conditions), a live cell replacement is possible at a cost (plus shipping). 5.

Propagation
Use of PriCoatTMT25 Flasks (G299) or Applied Cell Extracellular Matrix (G422) is required for cell adhesion to the culture vessels. Grow cells inECM-coated culture vessels unless otherwise specified in the Propagation Requirements below.The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available from abm (TM003). To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (TM999)* to a final concentration of 10% and 1% Penicillin/streptomycin. Carbon dioxide (CO2): 5%, Temperature: 37.0
Quality Control
1) Western blot was used to identify SV40T and c-myc transgene expression. 2) Immunocytochemistry and western blot were performed to assess the expression of smooth muscle actin alpha and alkaline phosphatase. 3) Up-regulated genes in DPCs is analyzed by DAVID (the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery).
