Mammalian skin appendages, such as hair follicles and sweat glands, are essential for both esthetic and functional purposes. Conditions such as burns and ulcers can lead to dysfunction or loss of skin appendages and result in hair loss and dry skin, posing challenges in their regeneration. Existing animal models are insufficient for studying acquired dysfunction of skin appendages without underlying genetic causes. This study aimed to develop more clinically relevant mouse models by evaluating two approaches: keratinocyte transplantation and grafting of skin at varying thicknesses. GFP-expressing keratinocytes were transplanted into ulcers on nude mice, leading to re-epithelialization with minimal skin appendages at 4 weeks after transplantation. However, the re-epithelialized area was largely derived from recipient cells, with the grafted cells contributing to only 1.31% of the area. In the skin grafting model, donor skin from GFP transgenic mice was grafted onto nude mice at three thicknesses: full thickness, 10/1000 inch, and 5/1000 inch. The grafted area of the 5/1000-inch grafts remained stable at 89.5% of its original size 5 weeks after transplantation, ensuring a sufficiently large skin area. The 5/1000-inch grafts resulted in a significant reduction in skin appendages, with a mean of only 3.73 hair follicles per 5 mm, compared with 69.7 in the control group. The 5/1000-inch skin grafting in orthotopic autologous transplantation also showed the achievement of skin surfaces with a minimal number of skin appendages. Therefore, a mouse model with skin grafting demonstrated stability in producing large areas of skin with minimal appendages. In conclusion, these two models with acquired skin appendage dysfunction and no underlying genetic causes provide valuable tools for researching skin appendage regeneration, offering insights into potential therapeutic strategies for conditions involving skin appendage loss.
