BACKGROUND: Melanocytes originate from the neural crest and migrate ventrally from the dorsal neural tube during embryogenesis. How human melanocytes locate at their suitable positions during embryogenesis, however, is unclear. Although a growing body of evidence indicates that melanocytes, melanoblasts, and melanocyte stem cells are closely related to hair follicles, little is known about volar skin.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to observe skin development during human fetal period and clarify the site-specific migration process of human fetal sole melanocytes.
METHODS: We obtained 4-mm punch biopsies from the scalp, back, abdomen, and right sole of 36 aborted fetuses (gestational age 12-21 weeks). We compared the migration process between hairly areas and volar areas by immunohistochemical staining.
RESULTS: Immunohistochemical examination revealed that gp100 (HMB-45) sensitively detects human melanocytes in embryogenesis. Melanocytes were present at the epidermal base, where hair placodes/buds form at 12-15 weeks gestation. Fetal melanocytes in hair follicles are supplied from the epidermis. In volar skin, melanocytes originally localize only in the acrosyringium, where they migrate deeper into with gland development at 16-18 weeks gestation. Palmoplantar melanocyte migration and maturation processes differ considerably from those of the other hairy skin sites.
CONCLUSION: Eccrine sweat glands seem to have a central role in the palmoplantar melanocyte migration process, similar to the role of hair follicles in hairy sites.
