Intrinsic ROS Drive Hair Follicle Cycle Progression by Modulating DNA Damage and Repair and Subsequently Hair Follicle Apoptosis and Macrophage Polarization

Figure 19

Macrophages were recruited and polarized in the hair cycle. (a–c) F4/80-positive cells (macrophage) were distributed in the epidermis and around HFs, and the number decreased significantly in catagen and recovered in telogen. (a, d) F4/80+CD86+ cells (M1 macrophage) were scattered around HFs, and the rate increased significantly in catagen. (b, e) F4/80+CD206+ cells (M2 macrophage) were distributed around HFs, and the rate was reduced significantly in catagen, while it was recovered in telogen. , , and . Scale bar (a, b): 100 μm.
