Akkermansia muciniphila promotes testosterone-mediated hair growth inhibition in mice

Abstract
The beneficial effects of Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) on gut health and inflammation reduction have been demonstrated; however, scientific evidence of hair growth enhancement by Akk has not been reported. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Akk on improving testosterone-mediated hair growth inhibition. Hair growth inhibition was induced through subcutaneous injection of testosterone into the shaved dorsal skin of C57BL/6 male mice. Live and pasteurized Akk were orally administered at a concentration of 1 × 108 colony-forming unit. After 5 weeks, hair length and skin tissues were analyzed. The live and pasteurized Akk significantly stimulated hair growth, countering the inhibitory effect of testosterone compared to the testosterone-alone group. Hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed a significant increase in hair follicle size in the Akk-treated group. An increase in β-catenin levels, which are associated with hair growth and cell cycle progression, was also observed. Moreover, the Akk-treated group exhibited increased levels of fibroblast growth factors, including Fgf7, Igf1, Fgf7, Fgf10, and Fgf21. However, no significant difference was observed between the live and pasteurized Akk groups. These results underscore the potential of live and pasteurized Akk in improving testosterone-mediated hair growth inhibition.
