COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR STIMULATION OF HAIR GROWTH [0001] This application claims benefit of United States provisional patent application number 63/364,389, filed May 9, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. 5 REFERENCE TO A SEQUENCE LISTING [0002] The content of the XML file of the sequence listing named “UCI012_seq”, which is 11 kb in size, created on April 30, 2023, and electronically submitted herewith the application, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND 10 [0003] Hair loss, or alopecia, affects a large fraction of the general population. For example, androgenic alopecia (hormonally induced common baldness) affects up to 50% of women and 80% of men, and alopecia areata (autoimmune form of hair loss) affects 2% of the general population (Alessandrini et al., 2021). Alopecia poses significant psychosocial distress to affected individuals. Although the pharmacological treatment for alopecia is highly 15 desired and generates billions of dollars annually worldwide, the therapeutic options approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are limited to oral finasteride, topical minoxidil and topical corticosteroids (Cardoso et al., 2021). But all these treatments are either of limited efficacy or with high risk of adverse side effects. For example, topical application of minoxidil lotion has the disadvantage of limited efficiency, and 20 many patients are poorly compliant because of the necessity to apply the medication twice a day and to remain taking medication constantly for its effect to remain in place. Adverse effects are the major concerns of oral finasteride and corticosteroids, including post- finasteride syndrome and immunosuppression respectively. Hence, developing novel treatment of hair loss is highly sought after and of great commercial benefit. 25 [0004] Knowledge of hair growth cycle has shed light on developing new treatment strategies for hair loss. The hair follicle (HF) is a complex mini-organ in the skin that sustains cyclic hair regrowth over repeated hair cycles, consisting of the consecutive phases of active growth (anagen), regression (catagen) and rest (telogen). Hair growth phase is fueled by hair follicle stem cell (HFSC), which are sustained and regulated by interaction with its local 30 environment, or ‘niche’. Dermal papilla cells (DPs), the specialized fibroblasts embedded in the hair bulb at the base of the HF, constitute the critical HFSC niche. Signaling from DPs is required for hair development during embryogenesis and for cyclic hair growth in adults. DP dysfunction can disrupt human hair growth, resulting in hair loss conditions such as androgenetic alopecia (Chen et al., 2020). Given the critical necessity of DPs in hair growth and its great transitional potential for treating hair conditions, better understanding of the molecular biology of DPs can lead to the discovery of novel molecular targets for hair growth stimulation. [0005] There remains a need for novel materials and methods for stimulation of hair growth. SUMMARY [0006] The methods described herein provide proteins and peptides, as well as compositions, nucleic acid molecules, and methods for delivering same, to stimulate hair growth. These materials and methods can be used to treat alopecia, to stimulate and accelerate hair regrowth after transplant, and to induce human hair growth. Data presented in Example 1 below show that SCUBE3 can prominently induce new hair growth even in aged (20-month-old) mice. Moreover, human data show that SCUBE3 in human scalp hair follicle is expressed in the same cell type as in mouse - dermal papilla fibroblasts, thus in a conserved expression location. In addition, in a human-on-mouse xenograft model, SCUBE3 induces human hair growth. [0007] Described herein is a composition comprising a Signal Peptide, CUB Domain and EGF Like Domain Containing (SCUBE) protein; a C-terminus peptide thereof (SCUBE-C); a synthetic SCUBE peptide (SCUBE-PP); or a nucleic acid sequence encoding SCUBE, SCUBE-C, or SCUBE-PP; and, optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In some embodiments, the SCUBE protein is a SCUBE3 protein (SEQ ID NO: 1); a C-terminus peptide thereof (SCUBE3-C; SEQ ID NO: 2); a synthetic SCUBE3 peptide (SCUBE3-PP). In some embodiments, the composition comprises a nucleic acid sequence encoding SCUBE3, SCUBE3-C, or SCUBE3-PP. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequence further comprises a promoter and/or other regulatory elements in operable linkage with the SCUBE protein or peptide encoding sequence. Other examples of a SCUBE protein include SCUBE1 (Protein Accession: Q8IWY4; SEQ ID NO: 3) and SCUBE2 (Protein Accession: Q9NQ36; SEQ ID NO: 5). Use of SCUBE1, SCUBE2, and/or SCUBE3 proteins or peptides (e.g., SCUBE1-C (SEQ ID NO: 4), SCUBE1-PP, SCUBE2-C (SEQ ID NO: 6), SCUBE2-PP) is contemplated, optionally in combination. [0008] In some embodiments, the SCUBE3-C comprises 3 cysteine-rich domains and one CUB domain (Complement proteins C1r/C1s, Uegf and Bmp1). In some embodiments, the SCUBE3-C peptide is produced by proteolytic cleavage of SCUBE3 with a protease. In some embodiments, the protease is one or more matrix metalloprotease (MMP) enzymes. In some embodiments, the MMP enzyme is synthetic. In some embodiments, the composition further comprises an MMP enzyme. In some embodiments, the MMP enzyme is selected from MMP2 and MMP9. In some embodiments, the SCUBE3-PP comprises 3 cysteine-rich domains and a CUB domain, a CUB domain and one cysteine-rich domain; or a CUB domain and two cysteine-rich domains.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0017] Described herein is a new molecular strategy of treating hair loss conditions, via activating SCUBE3 signaling in the hair-bearing skin of affected subjects. Target conditions include various forms of hair loss, including but not limited to androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata. In one aspect, the activator of hair growth is naturally occurring human SCUBE3 (Signal Peptide, CUB Domain And EGF Like Domain Containing 3) protein, produced as pure recombinant protein. In another aspect, the activator of hair growth is purified C-terminus SCUBE3 peptide (SCUBE3-C), produced synthetically, recombinantly, or by proteolytic cleavage of natural SCUBE3 with one or several matrix metalloprotease enzymes, such as MMP2 or MMP9. SCUBE3-C consists of 3 cysteine-rich domains and one CUB domain (Complement proteins C1r/C1s, Uegf and Bmp1). In another aspect, the activator of hair growth is a combination of pure recombinant SCUBE3 with one recombinant MMP enzyme, such as MMP2 or MMP9. In another aspect, the activator of hair growth is one of several synthetic peptides (SCUBE3-PP). One such SCUBE3-PP contains amino acid sequence of SCUBE3’s 3 cysteine-rich domains and one CUB domain. Other SCUBE3- PP can be: (a) SCUBE3 CUB + one cysteine-rich domain; (b) SCUBE3 CUB + two cysteine- rich domains. Also described herein is a method of intradermal microinjection of recombinant SCUBE3, SCUBE-C, SCUBE3+MMP or one of SCUBE3-PP to promote hair growth. In another aspect, described is a method of topical skin delivery of recombinant SCUBE3, SCUBE-C, SCUBE3+MMP or one of SCUBE3-PP to promote hair growth following increase in skin permeability, such as with micro-needling. Definitions [0018] All scientific and technical terms used in this application have meanings commonly used in the art unless otherwise specified. As used in this application, the following words or phrases have the meanings specified. [0019] As used herein, a “control” or “reference” sample means a sample that is representative of normal measures of the respective marker, such as would be obtained from normal, healthy control subjects, or a baseline amount of marker to be used for comparison. Typically, a baseline will be a measurement taken from the same subject or patient. The sample can be an actual sample used for testing, or a reference level or range, based on known normal measurements of the corresponding marker. [0020] As used herein, a “significant difference” means a difference that can be detected in a manner that is considered reliable by one skilled in the art, such as a statistically significant difference, or a difference that is of sufficient magnitude that, under the circumstances, can be detected with a reasonable level of reliability. In one example, an increase or decrease of 10% relative to a reference sample is a significant difference. In other examples, an increase or decrease of 20%, 30%, 40%, or 50% relative to the reference sample is considered a significant difference. In yet another example, an increase of two-fold relative to a reference sample is considered significant. [0021] “Nucleotide sequence” refers to a heteropolymer of deoxyribonucleotides, ribonucleotides, or peptide-nucleic acid sequences that may be assembled from smaller fragments, isolated from larger fragments, or chemically synthesized de novo or partially synthesized by combining shorter oligonucleotide linkers, or from a series of oligonucleotides, to provide a sequence which is capable of expressing the encoded protein. [0022] As used herein, the term “vector” refers to a nucleic acid molecule capable of transporting another nucleic acid to which it has been linked. Preferred vectors are those capable of autonomous replication and/or expression of nucleic acids to which they are linked. Vectors capable of directing the expression of genes to which they are operatively linked are referred to herein as “expression vectors”. [0023] A polynucleotide sequence (DNA, RNA) is “operatively linked” to an expression control sequence when the expression control sequence controls and regulates the transcription and translation of that polynucleotide sequence. The term “operatively linked” includes having an appropriate start signal (e.g., ATG) in front of the polynucleotide sequence to be expressed, and maintaining the correct reading frame to permit expression of the polynucleotide sequence under the control of the expression control sequence, and production of the desired polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide sequence. [0024] The term "complement" and "complementary" as used herein, refers to the ability of two DNA molecules to base pair with each other, where an adenine on one DNA molecule will base pair to a thymine on a second DNA molecule and a guanine on one DNA molecule will base pair to a cytosine on a second DNA molecule. Two DNA molecules are complementary to each other when a nucleotide sequence in one DNA molecule can base pair with a nucleotide sequence in a second DNA molecule. For instance, the two DNA molecules 5'-ATGC and 5'-GCAT are complementary, and the complement of the DNA molecule 5'-ATGC is 5'-GCAT. The term complement and complementary also encompasses two DNA molecules where one DNA molecule contains at least one nucleotide that will not base pair to at least one nucleotide present on a second DNA molecule. For instance, the third nucleotide of each of the two DNA molecules 5'-ATTGC and 5'-GCTAT will not base pair, but these two DNA molecules are complementary as defined herein. Typically, two DNA molecules are complementary if they hybridize under the standard conditions referred to above. Typically, two DNA molecules are complementary if they have at least about 80% sequence identity, preferably at least about 90% sequence identity. [0025] The term “modified” (or “chemically modified”) refers to the derivatization of a polypeptide with one or more moieties by appending (e.g., attaching via covalent or non- covalent interactions) one or more moieties to one or more amino acid residues of that polypeptide. Exemplary modifications include hydrophobic moieties such as lipophilic moieties and fatty acid moieties, glycosylation, phosphorylation. Further exemplary modifications include hydrophilic modifications. Polypeptides for use in the methods described herein, including SCUBE polypeptides, can be modified. Modified polypeptides for use in the methods retain one or more of the biological activities of the native polypeptide, and preferably additional possess one or more advantageous physiochemical properties in comparison to the corresponding native and/or un-modified polypeptide. For modified or unmodified SCUBE polypeptides, bioactive fragments thereof, or other polypeptides for use in the methods described herein, preferred modified polypeptides or fragments retain the biological activity of the native polypeptide and preferably possess one or more advantageous physiochemical activity. [0026] The term “appended” refers to the addition of one or more moieties to an amino acid residue. The term refers, without limitation, to the addition of any moiety to any amino acid residue. The term includes attachment of a moiety via covalent or non-covalent interactions. [0027] The term “N-terminal amino acid residue” refers to the first amino acid residue (amino acid number 1) of a polypeptide or peptide. [0028] The term “C-terminal amino acid residue” refers to the last amino acid residue (amino acid number n, wherein n = the total number of residues in the peptide or polypeptide) of a polypeptide or peptide. [0029] In certain embodiments, the amino acids used in the application of this disclosure are those naturally occurring amino acids found in proteins, or the naturally occurring anabolic or catabolic products of such amino acids which contain amino and carboxyl groups, and their corresponding R groups. Particularly suitable amino acid side chains include side chains selected from those of the following amino acids: glycine, alanine, valine, cysteine, leucine, isoleucine, serine, threonine, methionine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, glutamine, asparagine, lysine, arginine, proline, histidine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. [0030] The term “amino acid residue” further includes analogs, derivatives and congeners of any specific amino acid referred to herein, as well as C-terminal or N-terminal protected amino acid derivatives (e.g. modified with an N-terminal or C-terminal protecting group). [0031] Also included are the (D) and (L) stereoisomers of such amino acids when the structure of the amino acid admits of stereoisomeric forms. The configuration of the amino acids and amino acid residues herein are designated by the appropriate symbols (D), (L) or (DL), furthermore when the configuration is not designated the amino acid or residue can have the configuration (D), (L) or (DL). It will be noted that the structure of some of the compounds includes asymmetric carbon atoms. It is to be understood accordingly that the isomers arising from such asymmetry are included within the scope of this disclosure. Such isomers can be obtained in substantially pure form by classical separation techniques and by sterically controlled synthesis. For the purposes of this application, unless expressly noted to the contrary, a named amino acid shall be construed to include both the (D) or (L) stereoisomers. [0032] Certain compounds of the present disclosure may exist in particular geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present disclosure contemplates all such compounds, including cis- and trans-isomers, R- and S-enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (L)-isomers, the racemic mixtures thereof, and other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of this disclosure. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be included in this disclosure. [0033] If, for instance, a particular enantiomer of a compound of the present disclosure is desired, it may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, or by derivation with a chiral auxiliary, where the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomers. Alternatively, where the molecule contains a basic functional group, such as amino, or an acidic functional group, such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically-active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers thus formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means well known in the art, and subsequent recovery of the pure enantiomers. [0034] For purposes of this disclosure, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 67th Ed., 1986-87, inside cover. Also for purposes of this disclosure, the term “hydrocarbon” is contemplated to include all permissible compounds having at least one hydrogen and one carbon atom. In a broad aspect, the permissible hydrocarbons include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic organic compounds which can be substituted or unsubstituted. [0035] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" or “excipient” includes any material which, when combined with an active ingredient, allows the ingredient to retain biological activity and is non-reactive with the subject's immune system. Examples include, but are not limited to, any of the standard pharmaceutical carriers such as a phosphate buffered saline solution, water, emulsions such as oil/water emulsion, and various types of wetting agents. Preferred diluents for aerosol or parenteral administration are phosphate buffered saline or normal (0.9%) saline. [0036] Compositions comprising such carriers are formulated by well-known conventional methods (see, for example, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th edition, A. Gennaro, ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA, 1990). [0037] As used herein, the term "subject" includes any human or non-human animal. The term "non-human animal" includes all vertebrates, e.g., mammals and non-mammals, such as non-human primates, horses, sheep, dogs, cows, pigs, chickens, and other veterinary subjects. In a typical embodiment, the subject is a human. [0038] As used herein, “a” or “an” means at least one, unless clearly indicated otherwise.

SCUBE1 and SCUBE2 exhibit over 60% homology with SCUBE3 over its full length, and 83.25% and 82.20% amino acid homology, respectively, in the CUB domain (Wu et al., 2004, J Biol Chem 279, 37485-37490; Figure 5A). SCUBE1 in particular, and SCUBE2 to a lesser degree, are expressed in the same hair follicle components as SCUBE3. Use of SCUBE1, SCUBE2, and/or SCUBE3 proteins or peptides (e.g., SCUBE1-C (SEQ ID NO: 4), SCUBE1- PP, SCUBE2-C (SEQ ID NO: 6), SCUBE2-PP) is contemplated, optionally in combination.

[0047] In some embodiments, the alopecia is androgenic alopecia, female pattern hair loss, alopecia areata, traction alopecia, alopecia totalis, cicatricial alopecia, and/or alopecia universalis. The alopecia can be what is known as male pattern baldness, or the more diffuse type of hair loss often observed in postmenopausal women. In some embodiments, the method generates new hair follicles, accelerates hair regrowth after a hair graft, chemotherapy, and/or increases the size of existing hair follicles. For example, the SCUBE composition can be administered about one month after a transplantation to accelerate the regrowth of hair while the transplanted follicles are re-established. Likewise, the SCUBE composition can be administered after chemotherapy to facilitate regrowth of hair.

In addition, a label can be provided on the container to indicate that the composition is used for a specific application, and can also indicate directions for use, such as those described herein. Directions and or other information can also be included on an insert, which is included with the kit. EXAMPLES [0050] The following examples are presented to illustrate the present disclosure and to assist one of ordinary skill in making and using the same. The examples are not intended in any way to otherwise limit the scope of the disclosure. Example 1: Hedgehog signaling reprograms hair follicle niche fibroblasts to a hyper- activated state [0051] This Example demonstrates that SCUBE3 is a new mesenchymal niche factor that activates hair growth. Dermal papilla (DP) is the key mesenchymal niche cell type, that regulates cyclic regeneration of hair follicles by orchestrating paracrine signaling crosstalk with epithelial progenitors. We discovered that leptin receptor (Lepr) is a robust marker gene of adult DP fibroblasts in mice and that constitutive Cre and inducible CreER genetic tools, whose activity follows the expression of the Lepr isoform B, can efficiently target DPs for labeling and gene modulation during both growth (anagen) and rest (telogen) phases of the hair growth cycle. Using Lepr-based DP targeting, we show that Hedgehog signaling activation in adult DPs prominently accelerates cyclic growth of hair follicles and induces formation of new hair follicles from the sides of pre-existing follicles in unwounded skin. By single-cell RNA-sequencing we fully define cellular heterogeneity of DP fibroblasts, that increases upon Hedgehog activation, and establish new gene regulatory network of hyper- activated DP state. We also identify new Hedgehog-regulated signaling factors, Scube3 and reveal its role in physiological growth of hair follicles. In normal skin, Scube3 is expressed only in dermal papilla fibroblasts of growing, but not resting follicles. Scube3 null mice showed anagen initiation delay. SCUBE3 protein microinjection is sufficient to induce hair growth. Moreover, dermal papilla-enriched expression of SCUBE3 and its growth activating effect are partially conserved in human scalp hair follicles. [0052] To identify new Cre recombinase driver for DP cells, and to be able to genetically manipulate these cells in the context of hair growth, we examined the previously reported LeprB-Cre mouse line, where an IRES-Cre recombinase expression cassette is placed into the 3’ untranslated region of Lepr, allowing for Cre activity to be restricted to cells transcribing LeprB isoform (DeFalco et al., 2001). We characterized labeling pattern in dorsal skin of LeprB-Cre;mTmG reporter mice. DP labeling progressively increased by late first anagen, became high yet incomplete during first telogen and second anagen at P22 and P32, respectively, and eventually became high and nearly complete by second telogen at P50 (Figure 1A). RNAscope further confirmed expression of pan-isoform Lepr in GFP+ DP fibroblasts in P50 LeprB-Cre;mTmG skin (Figure 2A). To enable inducible labeling and targeting of DPs based on their expressing LeprB isoform, we generated new LeprB-CreER transgenic mice in which IRES-iCreERT2 construct was inserted after exon 19 stop codon of Lepr gene (Figure 1B, left). To test its specificity and efficacy, we treated LeprB- CreER;tdTomato mice with five daily doses of tamoxifen starting at P50. When skin was examined after one additional day, LeprB-CreER labeled DPs prominently and specifically, with virtually no extra-follicular cell targeting (Figure 1B, right). Thus, we conclude that in dorsal mouse skin, constitutive LeprB-Cre most efficiently targets DPs, with labeling prominently increasing during the second hair growth cycle, and that inducible LeprB-CreER can permit specific and efficient DP targeting in adult mouse skin. [0053] We asked if inducing constitutive Hedgehog signaling in dermal cells using LeprB- Cre can affect HF growth. Normally, Hedgehog is required for embryonic hair development (Chiang et al., 1999; Gritli-Linde et al., 2007; Mill et al., 2003; St-Jacques et al., 1998; Woo et al., 2012) and for proper hair growth activation (Hsu et al., 2014; Oro and Higgins, 2003; Paladini et al., 2005; Sato et al., 1999). A recent study documented that inducing Hedgehog signaling in myofibroblasts by means of constitutively active Smoothened (SmoM2) overexpression results in regeneration of many neogenic HFs in small wounds of adult mice that would otherwise heal with a hairless scar (Lim et al., 2018). Concomitant activation of Hedgehog signaling in wound epidermis is not required for this regenerative event. In contrast, in adult unwounded skin, concomitant epidermal and dermal Hedgehog activation by means of Ptch1 deletion was reported to be necessary to induce HF neogenesis. Neogenic HFs formed from pre-existing HFs in hairless paw skin and from touch domes – specialized sensory structures in the interfollicular epidermis (Sun et al., 2020). Hedgehog activation by means of Ptch1 deletion in Col1a2-CreER-expressing dermal cells alone was not sufficient to induced HF neogenesis in unwounded skin and, instead, led to an increase in fibroblast density. We generated LeprB-Cre;SmoM2+/- mutant mice and compared their hair phenotypes to those of LeprB-Cre control mice. Hair growth was traced non-invasively via periodic hair clipping and photography as previously described (Plikus et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2017). Consistent with a relatively late onset of LeprB-Cre activation in DP fibroblasts (Figure 1C), mutant mice did not show obvious hair growth cycle difference until second telogen. However, while no new hair growth was observed in control mice (n=8) during the entire observation period spanning second telogen days P46 through P86, mutant mice (n=8) showed prominently precocious hair growth (Figure 1C). [0054] To identify candidate cell types and molecular events that drive enhanced hair growth downstream of Hedgehog activation, we profiled dorsal skin of LeprB-Cre;SmoM2+/-;mTmG mutant and LeprB-Cre;mTmG control mice by scRNA-seq at P46, a time point that precedes the appearance of mutant hair phenotype by a few days. A total of 18,496 control (n=2) and 16,792 mutant (n=2) sequenced cells met quality control-filtering metrics and were processed for downstream analysis. Upon unsupervised clustering, all cells grouped into seventeen main clusters and were assigned cell identities according to differential expression of signature genes. These cell types included interfollicular and hair follicle keratinocytes, sebocytes, dermal, fibro-adipogenic and DP fibroblasts, Schwann cells, melanocytes, immune cells, vascular, lymphatic and neuron-associated endothelial cells, and muscle cells (Figures 1D). Prominent enrichment for mutant cells were observed among fibroblasts, where some DP clusters were almost entirely composed of mutant cells (Figures 1D, 1E). This indicated that LeprB-Cre;SmoM2+/- hair phenotypes are likely driven by newly formed, Hedgehog-active DP fibroblasts (DPL fibroblasts). Next, we performed differential gene expression analysis comparing mutant DP clusters (including DPL fibroblasts) vs. control DP clusters using DESeq2. Prominent change of Scube3 expression was identified, which was driven by DPL cells becoming new cellular source for a non-classical activating ligand Scube3 (Figures 1E, 1H). At P50, LeprB-Cre;SmoM2+/- HFs, whose morphology ranged from telogen-like to early anagen-like, showed prominent Scube3 expression in DP cells, HG cells and their derivatives (Figures 1I, right). In contrast, control HFs remained in telogen with absent Scube3 expression (Figures 1I, left). We then performed Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) analysis to explore regulon activity profile in the mutant DPL fibroblasts using pySCENIC (Van de Sande et al., 2020). Confirming transgenic stimulation of Hedgehog signaling, mutant DPL II cells strongly activated Gli1Reg(+) regulon (Figures 1F). Other top activated regulons included Hoxc8Reg(+), Zfp239Reg(+), Sox18Reg(+), Alx3Reg(+), and Ebf1Reg(+) (Figures 1F). Further, several signaling genes upregulated in DPL fibroblasts, including Scube3, Bmp4, Hhip, Igf1, and Vegfa, were predicted to be downstream of Gli1Reg(+) regulon (Figures 1G). Thus, mutant DPL fibroblasts activate redundant GRNs downstream of transgenically stimulated Gli1Reg(+), including Scube3 gene, which potentially promotes hair growth in the mutant mice. [0055] SCUBE3 is a multifunctional protein that can augment BMP (Lin et al., 2021) and FGF8 signaling (Tu et al., 2014) on source cells in its membrane-tethered form, or TGFβ signaling in its proteolytically cleaved secreted form (Wu et al., 2011; Yang et al., 2007; Yang et al., 2020). In embryonic mouse skin, Scube3 is preferentially expressed in DP and DS compartments of developing HFs (Haworth et al., 2007). Yet, the role of SCUBE3 in regulating hair growth remains an enigma. To elucidate the role of Scube3 in hair cyclic growth, we then profiled Scube3 expression pattern using RNAscope (Figure 2A). Scube3 was highly expressed in DPs of P0 and P5 early anagen HFs, but then prominently decreased by P17, ahead of anagen termination. It was absent in first telogen HFs at P22, reappeared in second anagen HFs at P32 and then turned off again during second telogen at P50. Scattered expression was also seen in hair matrix but only during first anagen phase. Thus, Scube3 is anagen phase-associated DP marker gene. We also examined timing of second anagen initiation in dorsal skin of germline Scube3 null mice, that are viable and develop grossly normal fur, despite having distinct craniofacial defects (Lin et al., 2021). Compared to littermate controls, Scube3 null mice show distinct, albeit mild anagen initiation delay (Figure 2B), suggesting that Scube3 is indispensable for anagen hair growth. [0056] Considering the above pattern and its overexpression in mutant DPL fibroblasts, we asked if SCUBE3 might exert anagen-promoting effect. When intradermally microinjected for four days starting at P48, recombinant human SCUBE3 (rhSCUBE3) induced significant new hair growth when compared on day 14 to microinjected bovine serum albumin (BSA) (mean difference=18+/-3.44; n=7) (Figure 2C-D). Aging in mice is associated with HF miniaturization (Matsumura et al., 2016) and increase in extra-follicular hair growth inhibitors (Chen et al., 2014). To test if rhSCUBE3 can induce hair growth in aged skin, we repeated protein microinjection experiments in mice over 20 months of age. Unlike BSA, rhSCUBE3 potently stimulated new hair growth at the injection sites (mean difference=31.78+/-2.40; n=9) (Figure 2E-F). [0057] To start evaluating the translational potential of SCUBE3, first we examined its expression pattern in human anagen HFs from occipital scalp of volunteer donors, undergoing autologous hair transplantation procedures. On RNAscope, SCUBE3 is expressed in DP cells and strongly in the dermal sheath cup, a lowermost portion of DS that physically connects to DP and surrounds hair matrix (Figure 2G). We also xenografted human occipital scalp HFs to pigmented SCID mice and treated them with three daily doses of rhSCUBE3 or BSA on post-grafting day 30, when grafted human HFs enter telogen (Oh et al., 2016). Anagen phase human and adjacent mouse host HFs were then counted at each injection site on post-grafting day 50. Compared to BSA (n=5), rhSCUBE3 (n=6) accelerated anagen entry of grafted human HFs and stimulated new anagen of mouse host HFs (Figure 2H-I). We conclude that SCUBE3 is a novel mesenchymal niche-derived hair growth activator in mice, whose expression pattern and function are partially conserved in human scalp.

Example 2: Validation of SCUBE3 effect on in vivo hair growth [0083] The Scube3 flox/flox and the TetO-Scube3 mouse lines were generated for use in validating the effect of tissue specific Scube3 deletion/overexpression on hair growth in vivo. Mouse design drawings are shown in Figs.3 (Scube3 flox/flox mouse) and 4 (TetO-Scube3 mouse). We will cross the new flox and Tet-On transgenic mice with LeprB-CreER mice (generated in our recent study Liu Y, et al. Dev Cell.2022 Jul 25;57(14):1758-1775; PMID: 35777353). DP-specific Scube3 deletion in LeprB-CreER;Scube3 ^flox/flox (flox mutant) mice and Scube3 overexpression in LeprB-Cre; TetOn-Scube3 (TetOn mutant) mice will be achieved by tamoxifen induction in those mice. We will evaluate and compare hair growth patterns in flox and TetOn mutant mice and their control littermates, using well-established non-invasive hair cycle tracing assay, plucking-induced hair growth model, and immunostaining of skin for hair-growth markers, including proliferation markers. This will further validate our finding that SCUBE3 can induce hair growth in vivo.
