Abstract
The hairless (Hr) gene plays an essential role in hair follicle development and skin homeostasis. Both humans and mice lacking hairless activity suffer from complete hair loss and abnormal epidermal proliferation and differentiation, although the mechanisms underlying such developmental defects remain largely unknown. We recently demonstrated that Hr encodes a histone demethylase and acts as an epigenetic regulator of the expression of its target genes. Gene expression profiling studies identified pro-inflammatory IL-1 family cytokines, including IL-36 and IL-1β, among the major targets of Hr.
