Hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) and dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are crucial in the biogenesis and maintenance of hair follicles (HFs). In this study, a fragment derived from aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-interacting multifunctional protein1 (AIMP1) was secreted from HFSCs to activate DPCs to maintain hair follicle homeostasis. A histological analysis revealed that AIMP1 levels in hair follicles decreased with hair loss. Hair regrowth in AIMP1-induced mice was faster than that in non-induced mice. Deletion mapping revealed 41 amino acids (TN41, aa 6-46) as the active region of AIMP1. The N-terminal peptide fragment of AIMP1 generated by MMP1 was secreted from Wnt-treated HFSCs to activate DPCs via FGFR2. TN41 activated Akt and ERK, increased {beta}-catenin, and enhanced DPCs activation. TN41 also promoted hair shaft elongation in cultured human hair follicles and improved the hair-inducing activity of cultured DPC spheroids. In summation, the AIMP1 fragment secreted from HFSCs appears to stimulate active hair regrowth through activating DPCs.
