Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (ASK) 1 is a MAP3K family member that activates both the JNK and p38 MAPK signaling cascades and is activated in response to various stimuli, including oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, calcium influx, and inflammatory cytokines (Ichijo et al., 1997; Hayakawa et al., 2006; Sekine et al., 2006). Expression of ASK1 protein has been reported to be strongly induced surrounding wounds in rat palatal epithelium (Funato et al., 1998). It has also been demonstrated that ASK1 induces keratinocyte differentiation and regulates the innate immunity of the skin (Sayama et al., 2001, 2005). These findings have suggested that ASK1 may play an important role in epithelial wound healing.' W: T' P+ G8 g+ y1 a% b3 b
/ ~' `5 l, S( r5 G7 I+ sMammalian skin is composed of three differentiated epithelial compartments: the interfollicular epidermis, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles (Stenn and Paus, 2001). A bulge within each hair follicle contains stem cells, which in turn proliferate and differentiate into new hair follicles (Taylor et al., 2000; Fuchs et al., 2004). Wounding of skin has been reported to induce hair growth (Argyris, 1956). It was recently shown that the pattern of expression of epithelial stem cells in hair follicles around wound areas is similar to that in spontaneous hair cycling (Ito and Kizawa, 2001). This suggested that understanding of wound-induced hair regrowth may elucidate the general mechanisms of hair growth. Furthermore, it is known that onset of the developmental program in epithelial stem cells is triggered by environmental signals (Fuchs et al., 2004). However, the hair regrowth factors and mechanisms by which wounding induces hair regrowth remain to be determined.

In this study, we found that ASK1-deficient (ASK1–/–) mice exhibited marked delay of wounding-induced hair regrowth. We also found that infiltration and activation of macrophages were strongly impaired in the wound area of ASK1–/– mice, and that transplantation of activated macrophages induced hair regrowth in both wild-type (WT) and ASK1–/– mice. These findings demonstrate the critical involvement of macrophages in hair growth and the need for regulation of infiltration and activation of macrophages in skin wounds by ASK1 for macrophage-dependent hair regrowth.

+ r& g( I0 E/ b4 J! \1 I3 }$ j& YTo explore the roles of ASK1 in wound healing, full-thickness 5-mm incisional wounds were produced on the shaved back skin of WT and ASK1–/– mice, and wound areas were monitored for up to 20 d. During the healing process, the macroscopic appearances of wound closure and histological reepithelialization were similar in WT and ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 1 a and not depicted). However, we found that wounding-induced hair regrowth was dramatically delayed in ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 1 a). Although it has been reported that hair regrowth is induced by wounding, the reason for this has remained unclear (Argyris, 1956; Stenn and Paus, 2001). Hair follicles undergo repeated cycles of proliferation and differentiation (anagen stage), apoptosis (catagen stage), and resting (telogen stage) of epithelial cells (Stenn and Paus, 2001). Quantitative evaluation of hair follicle stages on the basis of well-defined morphological criteria revealed that the percentage of hair follicles in telogen stage was very high in ASK1–/– mice at 12 d after wounding (Fig. 1, b and c; Muller-Rover et al., 2001). These findings suggested that lack of ASK1 delays wounding-induced anagen initiation. On the other hand, we have been unable to find histological differences between WT and ASK1–/– in the normal development of hair follicles of 14.5-d-old embryos or the spontaneous anagen-stage hair follicles of 18-d-old neonatal mice (unpublished data). Moreover, plucking-induced hair regrowth, which is another experimental model of induced hair growth, the mechanism of which is unknown (Morris and Potten, 1999; Ito and Kizawa, 2001), occurred normally in ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 1 d). These findings suggested that ASK1 deficiency does not affect the hair-regenerating activity of epithelial cells, per se.; O1 c0 W8 T, j' w/ E

We next examined the status of activation of ASK1 and MAPKs, including p38, JNK, and ERK, in wounded skin of WT and ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 1 e). Wounding clearly induced activation of ASK1, p38, JNK, and ERK in WT mice. Activation of p38 and, to a lesser extent, JNK was reduced in the wound area of ASK1–/– mice, indicating that ASK1 is required for activation of p38 and JNK in wounded skin (Fig. 1 e). ERK activation, which is not induced by ASK1 (Ichijo et al., 1997), was also reduced in wound areas of ASK1–/– mice. Because ERK is widely activated by various growth factors and cytokines, it is possible that ERK activation is indirectly reduced in ASK1–/– mice because of reduction of activity of p38 and JNK, which are required for the production of various inflammatory cytokines (see next section).

To identify the genes responsible for ASK1-dependent hair regrowth, skin samples from four groups (untreated and wounded skin 8 d after operation from WT or ASK1–/– mice) were collected, and gene expression in each group was monitored using high-density Affymetrix GeneChips. We identified 185 annotated genes of the 45,102 represented on the array, which exhibited at least a fourfold difference in expression between WT and ASK1–/– wounded skin. The levels of expression of these 185 genes in unwounded skin were similar in WT and ASK1–/– mice. A total of 138 of the 185 genes (76%) were up-regulated in an ASK1-dependent fashion by wounding (Fig. 2 a, cluster A). Altogether, 53 of the 138 genes (38%) were classified in the category of "immune-response regulation," including various cytokines and chemokines using the Gene Ontology Consortium classifications (Table S1, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200611015/DC1). Together with the results shown in Fig. 1 e, these findings suggested that ASK1 is required for regulation of postwounding immune responses, such as cytokine and chemokine production in wound areas.

To confirm altered expression of macrophage-related genes, relative mRNA expressions of a macrophage-specific marker (F4/80) and chemotactic factors (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and macrophage inflammatory protein-1 ) were measured by real-time RT-PCR in the same RNA samples used for GeneChip analysis. Expression of these transcripts was confirmed to be strongly reduced in the wounded skin of ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 2, b–d). Immunohistochemical analysis of day 4 and 8 wounds with F4/80 antibody further confirmed that recruitment of macrophages into the wound area of ASK1–/– mice was significantly reduced compared with that in WT mice (Fig. 2, e and f).

IL-1? and TNF are typical macrophage-activating factors, which may be expressed in wounded skin and in activated macrophages. Double-staining with antibodies to macrophage marker CD11b and the activation marker major histocompatability complex (MHC) class II revealed that activated macrophages (double-positive cells) were significantly reduced in number in the wound area of ASK1–/– mice compared with WT mice (Fig. 2 i).

The aforementioned findings suggested that macrophages may be involved in wounding-induced hair regrowth, and that the delay of hair regrowth in ASK1–/– mice may be caused by reduction of infiltration of activated macrophages in wounds. To examine whether macrophages promote hair growth, we performed intracutaneous transplantation of bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMDMs) into the dorsal skin of WT mice. Hair growth was strongly induced by transplantation of BMDMs derived from WT mice, but by neither mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) nor dendritic cells (DCs; Fig. 3 a and Fig. S1 c, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200611015/DC1). Staining for Ki67 (a cell proliferation marker) in the area of transplantation of BMDMs revealed that proliferation of epidermal basal cells and hair follicle cells, including bulge stem cells, was accelerated by macrophages, but not by PBS control, only in the injected area (Fig. 3 b and Fig. S1, a and b). These findings clearly indicated that macrophages possess the ability to induce hair growth. Furthermore, hair regrowth was induced by BMDMs derived from ASK1–/– mice, as well as those derived from WT mice (Fig. 3 c), indicating that ASK1 is not required for the macrophage function by itself to induce hair growth.2 B$ ].

7 P4 B: G5 H% H$ v# n* R4 LAs shown in Fig. 2, ASK1 was required for the recruitment and activation of macrophages into wound areas, which appears to be caused by reduced production of chemotactic and activating factors for macrophages in ASK1–/– skin wounds. To confirm that infiltration of macrophages is required for hair regrowth, we examined whether hair growth depends on the number of transplanted macrophages. Hair growth was enhanced in proportion to the number of transplanted BMDMs (Fig. 3 d), providing further evidence for the existence of a causal relationship between reduction of the number of macrophages infiltrating ASK1–/– wounded skin and the delay of hair regrowth.

Despite the aforementioned findings, we found that transplantation of BMDMs barely induced hair growth in ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 3 e). As shown in Fig. 2 (g–i), ASK1 was also required for activation of macrophages, which may be induced by macrophage-activating factors in the wound area. These findings suggested that infiltration of macrophages into the wound area is not sufficient for induction of hair growth, and that activation of macrophages is also required for the induction of hair growth. BMDMs transplanted into ASK1–/– mice may not be sufficiently activated, which is due in part to reduced production of macrophage-activating factors. Therefore, we performed transplantation of IL-1?–stimulated, and thus activated, BMDMs into the dorsal skin of WT and ASK1–/– mice. IL-1?–treated BMDMs induced hair in WT mice more effectively than did nontreated BMDMs. Moreover, transplantation of IL-1?– stimulated BMDMs, but not of IL-1?–stimulated MEFs, was sufficient for induction of hair growth in ASK1–/– mice, as well as in WT mice (Fig. 3 e and Fig. S1 d).5 Y0 K( ^/ d: A& L8 F h

We also performed intracutaneous transplantation of macrophages of a different type, which were differentiated by monocyte colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF–BMDMs). Robust hair growth was induced by transplantation of M-CSF–BMDMs in WT mice (Fig. 3 f, ). M-CSF–BMDMs induced less hair growth in ASK1–/– mice than in WT mice, but IL-1?–stimulated M-CSF–BMDMs induced hair growth in ASK1–/– mice that was almost equivalent to that in WT mice (Fig. 3 f, bottom). These findings indicated that activated macrophages possess the ability to induce hair growth, and that regulation of both recruitment and activation of macrophages by ASK1 is required for macrophage-dependent hair regrowth.

In this study, we found that macrophages play a crucial role in wounding-induced hair regrowth, and that regulation of infiltration and activation of macrophages in wound areas by ASK1 is required for macrophage-dependent hair regrowth (Fig. 4). No difference was found in the ability to induce hair regrowth between WT and ASK1–/– BMDMs (Fig. 3 c). Epithelial cell functions, such as proliferation and differentiation, were also normal in ASK1–/– mice (Fig. 1 d and not depicted). These findings suggested that ASK1 is selectively required for infiltration and subsequent activation of macrophages in wound areas (Fig. 4, left and middle), but not for the induction by macrophages of hair growth (Fig. 4, right). It is likely that infiltration of macrophages and activation of them are induced by macrophage-specific chemotactic factors and macrophage-activating factors, including MCP-1, MIP-1, TNF, and IL-1?, which are produced around the wound area in an ASK1-dependent fashion (Fig. 4).

Although it has been reported that hair growth is induced by wounding, the reasons for this have remained unclear (Argyris, 1956; Stenn and Paus, 2001). Synchronized hair follicle cycling in mice has been reported to be related to the number and activation of perifollicular macrophages (Paus et al., 1998). This study is the first to provide direct evidence that infiltration and activation of macrophages are critically involved in postwounding hair regrowth, in which ASK1 plays an essential role. We are currently identifying hair growth–promoting factors produced by activated BMDMs, which appear to be thermosensitive proteinaceous factors (unpublished data). It has recently been found that macrophage-stimulating factor (MSP), which was originally identified as a chemotactic factor for macrophages, could induce hair growth, and that RON, the receptor for MSP, is strongly expressed in hair follicles (McElwee et al., 2004). We therefore examined whether ASK1-dependent up-regulation of MSP and/or RON is responsible for macrophage-induced hair growth. However, no significant difference was found between WT and ASK1–/– in levels of expression of MSP and RON after wounding (Fig. S2, available at http://www.jcb.org/cgi/content/full/jcb.200611015/DC1), suggesting that MSP and RON may not be responsible for ASK1-dependent hair growth.

The number of transplanted BMDMs was similar to the number of macrophages that had infiltrated into the wound area (106 cells), as estimated by counting macrophages in sections of wounded skin stained immunohistochemically with an antibody to the macrophage-specific marker F4/80.

Fig. S1 c shows that transplantation of DCs did not induce hair growth in WT mice. Fig. S1 d shows that transplantation of IL-1?–treated MEFs did not induce hair growth in ASK1–/– mice. Fig. S2 shows levels of expression of MSP and RON in wounded skin. Table S1 shows Gene Ontology Consortium classifications. Table S2 shows the results of GeneChip analysis.
