An orchestrated wound healing program drives skin repair via collective epidermal cell proliferation and migration. However, the molecular determinants of the tissue microenvironment supporting wound healing remain poorly understood. Herein we discover that proteoglycan Agrin is enriched within the early wound-microenvironment and is indispensable for efficient healing. Agrin enhances the mechanoperception of keratinocytes by augmenting their stiffness, traction stress and fluidic velocity fields in retaliation to bulk substrate rigidity. Importantly, Agrin overhauls cytoskeletal architecture via enhancing actomyosin cables upon sensing geometric stress and force following an injury. Moreover, we identify Matrix Metalloproteinase-12 (MMP12) as a downstream effector of Agrin’s mechanoperception. We also reveal a promising potential of a recombinant Agrin fragment as a bio-additive material that assimilates optimal mechanobiological and pro-angiogenic parameters by engaging MMP12 in accelerated wound healing. Together, we propose that Agrin-MMP12 pathway integrates a broad range of mechanical stimuli to coordinate a competent skin wound healing niche. Replenishing key extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins facilitate wound healing through unclear mechanisms. Here the authors report that injury-triggered Agrin, an ECM proteoglycan, tunes a mechanocompetent niche by engaging MMP-12, thereby enforcing efficient skin wound healing.
