Myeloid Wls expression is dispensable for skin wound healing and blood vessel regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Wnt signaling controls blood vessel growth, regression and patterning during embryonic and postnatal life. Macrophages are major producers of Wnt ligands and angiogenic growth factors. It regulates vascular development and specification during embryogenesis and wound healing. Macrophage dysregulation in wound healing impairs vessel regeneration and delay wound closure. During cutaneous wound healing, the endovascular progenitors (EVPs) proliferate and differentiate into mature endothelial (D) cells in response to signals produced by perivascular cells, including macrophages, governing blood vessels regeneration. However, the role of macrophage's Wnt production on endothelial cells, especially the EVPs during wound healing is currently unknown. Here we used a cutaneous excisional wound mode
