Disruption to this process can lead to a number of limb abnormalities, including syndactyly. Akirins are highly conserved nuclear proteins that are known to interact with chromatin remodelling machinery at gene enhancers. In mammals, the analogue Akirin2 is essential for embryonic development and critical for a wide variety of roles in immune function, meiosis, myogenesis and brain development. Here we report a critical role for Akirin2 in the regulation of interdigital tissue regression in the mouse limb. Knockout of Akirin2 in limb epithelium leads to a loss of interdigital cell death and an increase in cell proliferation, resulting in retention of the interdigital web and soft-tissue syndactyly. This is associated with perdurance of <jats:italic>Fgf8<\/jats:italic> expression in the ectoderm overlying the interdigital space. Our study supports a mechanism whereby Akirin2 is required for the downregulation of <jats:italic>Fgf8<\/jats:italic> from the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) during limb development, and implies its requirement in signalling between interdigital mesenchymal cells and the AER.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-018-30801-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,10]],"date-time":"2018-08-10T09:49:47Z","timestamp":1533894587000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["An essential role for the nuclear protein Akirin2 in mouse limb interdigital tissue regression"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Peter J.","family":"Bosch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leah C.","family":"Fuller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua A.","family":"Weiner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"30801_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.cellbio.17.1.87","volume":"17","author":"J Capdevila","year":"2001","unstructured":"Capdevila, J. & Izpisua Belmonte, J.
