ABSTRACT
We have previously demonstrated that the nestin-expressing cells from the upper part of the hair follicle can differentiate to neurons and other cell types. We have termed these cells as hair-associated-pluripotent (HAP) stem cells. In the present chapter, we describe methods for HAP stem cells to differentiate to beating cardiac muscle cells. The mouse vibrissa hair follicle was divided into three parts (upper, middle, and lower), and each part was suspended separately in DMEM containing 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS). All three parts of hair follicle differentiate to neurons, glial cells, keratinocytes, smooth muscle cells, and cardiac muscle cells. The differentiation potential to cardiac muscle is greatest in the upper part of the follicle. Hair spheres comprised of HAP stem cells formed from the upper part of vibrissa hair follicle can differentiate to cardiac muscle cells.
