September 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This pilot study explores the role of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) as a negative regulator of human hair follicle pigmentation using ex vivo assays with scalp hair follicles from 4 male donors. The study found that VIP significantly reduces melanin production and tyrosinase activity, indicating an inhibition of melanogenesis at the post-dopachrome tautomerase level. Additionally, higher concentrations of VIP decreased the number of differentiated melanocytes without affecting apoptosis, suggesting an inhibition of melanocyte differentiation rather than survival. These findings imply that VIP may play a role in stress-induced hair graying and other depigmentation disorders, warranting further research in larger cohorts and potential therapeutic applications of VIP receptor antagonists.
