Abstract

A female aged 64 reported sudden whitening of the hair. Analysis proved it to be alopecia areata. Rarely, alopecia areata is of diffuse onset. If in such a case it is mostly the pigmented hairs that are lost the impression can be made of a person with grey hair turning white overnight. A review is given of some historical cases which may have been caused by this phenomenon.

Alopecia areata: pathogenesis and potential for therapy.

Although the complete picture for alopecia areata (AA) pathogenesis has yet to be determined, recent research has made much progress in our understanding of the disease mechanism. Numerous circumstantial evidence supports the notion that AA is fundamentally a disease mediated by inflammatory cells and may be autoimmune in nature. Recent research has shown the hair-loss phenotype is precipitated predominantly by CD8+ lymphocytes, but the disease mechanism is driven by CD4+ lymphocytes. Although genetic susceptibility is a key contributor to disease development, disease onset and phenotypic presentation are probably modified by complex environmental interplay. On the basis of our current understanding of AA disease pathogenesis, several experimental and theoretical therapeutic approaches might be possible. However, the pathogenetic disease mechanism is particularly robust and the development of a cure for AA will be a significant challenge.

A chronic contact eczema impedes migration of antigen-presenting cells in alopecia areata.

Long-lasting allergen treatment is the most efficient therapy in alopecia areata (AA). The underlying mechanism is unknown. We here asked whether treatment with a contact sensitizer influences leukocyte migration such that dendritic cell (DC) migration or the recruitment of activated T-cells towards the skin become hampered. Allergen treatment of AA mice was not accompanied by a decrease in skin-infiltrating leukocytes or draining lymph node cells (LNC). However, the distribution of leukocyte subsets was changed with a dominance of monocytes in the skin and a reduced percentage of DCs in draining nodes. Chemokine and chemokine receptor expression in skin and draining nodes was strikingly increased and LNC from untreated and allergen-treated AA mice showed high migratory activity in vitro and readily homed in draining nodes and skin after intravenous injection. However, FITC labelling of the skin and subcutaneous transfer of dye-labelled DC revealed that allergen treatment created a chemokine milieu severely hampering DC migration from the skin towards the draining node. An allergic eczema-induced reduction in DC migration and antigen transfer could well contribute to insufficient T-cell activation and the recovery of hair follicle in AA and possibly be of relevance for other skin-related autoimmune diseases.
