Abstract
Chronic and acute stress caused by emotional or physical insults can affect the function of other organs via the brain-body axis. As one of the smallest organs in mammalian, hair follicles are highly susceptible to stress. Under stress, the sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine (NA), which acts directly on the β-2 adrenergic receptors on melanocyte stem cells (MeSCs) within the hair follicles, causing the MeSCs to lose quiescence and enter a rapid proliferation state followed by differentiation and migration, leading to rapid loss of MeSCs and, ultimately, grey hair. Here, we screened out β-2 blockers forming the ZINC 15 compound database, found a natural product isoliensinine, and was effective in preventing stress-induced hair greying in mice. The study sheds light on the development of products that use natural compounds to prevent stress-induced hair greying.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacy and Therapeutics provides a forum for clinicians, pharmacists and pharmacologists to explore and report on issues of common interest. Reports and commentaries on current issues in medical and pharmaceutical practice are encouraged. Papers on evidence-based clinical practice and multidisciplinary collaborative work are particularly welcome. Regular sections in the journal include: editorials, commentaries, reviews (including systematic overviews and meta-analyses), original research and reports, and book reviews. Its scope embraces all aspects of clinical drug development and therapeutics, including:
Rational therapeutics
Evidence-based practice
Safety, cost-effectiveness and clinical efficacy of drugs
Drug interactions
Clinical impact of drug formulations
Pharmacogenetics
Personalised, stratified and translational medicine
Clinical pharmacokinetics.
