The invention relates to the technical field of stem cells, in particular to a serum-free induction medium with definite components for promoting and inducing mesenchymal stem cells to be differentiated into dermal papilla cells and an
induction method. The
small molecule compound composition is prepared from all-transretinoic acid, calomel, CHIR-99021 and
minoxidil according to the
molar ratio of (0.2 to 5): (2 to 50): (0.2 to 10): (0.2 to 10). According to the scheme, a plurality of
small molecule compounds are adopted and have a synergistic effect, so that differentiation and function improvement of dermal papilla cells are promoted, and transformation of mesenchymal stem cells to the dermal papilla cells is promoted. The former three promote dermal papilla
cell differentiation, and the latter promotes dermal papilla
cell proliferation and inhibits
apoptosis. According to the technical scheme, the technical problems that
cell factors need to be added in the process of forming dermal papilla cells from stem cells through induced differentiation, so that the process cost is high, and the
clinical safety is not ideal can be solved, the induction process is accelerated, and the method has ideal popularization and application prospects.
