Prevention of chemotherapy drug-mediated human hair follicle damage: combined use of cooling with antioxidant suppresses oxidative stress and prevents matrix keratinocyte cytotoxic... by Khalidah Ibraheem, Adrian Smith, Andrew Collett, Andrew Collett, Nikolaos T. Georgopoulos, Nikolaos T. Georgopoulos

“…ROS generation increased &gt;3-fold following drug exposure and was attenuated by cooling in a temperature-dependent fashion (p &lt; 0.001). Co-treatment with antioxidant (such as N-acetylcysteine) at 26°C restored cell viability to levels comparable with 18°C, normalizing HF proliferation (41% Ki-67+ cells), suppressing apoptosis (8% TUNEL+ cells) and restoring HF function (e.g., hair shaft elongation, p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionCooling effectively suppresses chemotherapy drug-induced cytotoxicity in human keratinocytes and HFs in a temperature-dependent manner. …”
