Cashmere, which has high economic value, is made from the secondary hair follicles of cashmere goat skin. Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are considered the center for regulation of hair growth, which is closely related to hair follicle growth. We constructed LEF-1 overexpression and interference experimental groups of goat DPCs to investigate LEF-1 regulation of DPCs proliferation by Wnt signaling, and provide a theoretical basis for improving cashmere yield. In primary DPCs, LEF-1, β-catenin, C-myc, and cyclin D1 expression in the LEF-1 overexpression group was 9.25-, 1.27-, 1.74-, and 1.63-fold, respectively, that of the control. LEF-1, β-catenin, C-myc, and cyclin D1 expression in the LEF-1 interference group was 0.20-, 0.75-, 0.38-, and 0.39-fold, respectively, that of the control. In secondary DPCs, LEF-1, β-catenin, C-myc, and cyclin D1 expression in the LEF-1 overexpression group was 10.53-, 1.48-, 1.64-, and 1.39-fold, respectively, that of the control. LEF-1, β-catenin, C-myc, and cyclin D1 expression in the LEF-1 interference group was 0.21-, 0.71-, 0.40-, and 0.36-fold, respectively, that of the control. Primary and secondary DPCs proliferation rates changed with LEF-1 expression. Therefore, the LEF-1 regulation pattern of cell proliferation through Wnt signaling is similar in both DPCs.
