The formation of mature vasculature through angiogenesis is essential for adequate wound healing, such that blood-borne cells, nutrients, and oxygen can be delivered to the remodeling skin area. Neovessel maturation is highly dependent on the coordinated functions of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular cells, namely pericytes (PCs). However, the underlying mechanism for vascular maturation has not been completely elucidated, and its role in wound healing remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the role of Ninjurin-1 (Ninj1), a new molecule mediating vascular maturation, in wound healing using an inducible PC-specific Ninj1 deletion mouse model. Ninj1 expression increased temporarily in NG2-positive PCs in response to skin injury. When tamoxifen treatment induced a decreased Ninj1 expression in PCs, the neovessels in the regenerating wound margins were structurally and functionally immature, but the total number of microvessels was unaltered. This phenotypic change is associated with a reduction in PC-associated microvessels. Wound healing was significantly delayed in the NG2-specific Ninj1 deletion mouse model. Finally, we showed that Ninj1 is a crucial molecule that mediates vascular maturation in injured skin tissue through the interaction of vascular endothelial cells and PCs, thereby inducing adequate and prompt wound healing.
