Embryonic NIPP1 Depletion in Keratinocytes Triggers a Cell Cycle Arrest and Premature Senescence in Adult Mice. KU Leuven
NIPP1 is a ubiquitously expressed regulatory subunit of PP1. Its embryonic deletion in keratinocytes causes chronic sterile skin inflammation, epidermal hyperproliferation, and resistance to mutagens in adult mice. To explore the primary effects of NIPP1 deletion, we first examined hair cycle progression of NIPP1 skin knockouts (SKOs). The entry of the first hair cycle in the SKOs was delayed owing to prolonged quiescence of hair follicle stem ...
