DSC cell lines derived from good responders express low levels of smooth muscle cell markers SRF and CALD1. (A) Relative expression levels of SRF and CALD1 in good and moderate/poor responder groups. Expression levels were normalized to GAPDH and the results are expressed as the mean ± S.D. Subdivision intoeach group was based on the treatment outcome score at indicated months vs. placebo at 6, 9, and 12 months (6 M/p, 9 M/p, and 12 M/p). Student’s t-test was applied for comparisons. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01. Pre- and post-treatment trichoscopic images of tested areas of a good (B) and moderate/poor (C) responder at 6 months are shown with the treatment outcome score (6 M/p) and values of relative expression levels of SRF and CALD1.
