To establish the model of whisker hair follicle culture in vitro and explore the best culture conditions, the whisker hair follicles of Angora rabbits were separated with stereomicroscope and cultured in William’s E, DMEM, MEM media. The surface of the cultured whisker hair follicles was not damaged due to manual operation, resulting in the hair shaft’s growth. This indicated the success of the in vitro whisker hair follicle model. The hair shaft grew at the fastest rate in the William’s E culture ( p  &lt; 0.05), which was significantly higher than that in the DMEM and MEM media. The hematoxylin-eosin results showed that compared to the William’s E group, the atrophy of whisker hair follicles in the DMEM and MEM media was evident, especially in the MEM medium. PCNA immunofluorescence staining was employed to detect the expression of whisker hair follicles. The results showed that the PCNA positive expression of the William’s E group was significantly stronger than that of the DMEM and MEM groups. Furthermore, CCK-8 and Annexin V-FITC/PI methods were used to detect the proliferation and apoptosis of the dermal papilla cells (DPCs). The results of this study provide a model for studying the hair growth of fur animals.
