Abstract

Tissue- and cell-type-specific regulators of alternative splicing (AS) are essential components of posttranscriptional gene regulation, necessary for normal cellular function, patterning, and development. Mice with ablation of Epithelial splicing regulatory protein (Esrp1) develop cleft lip and palate. Loss of both Esrp1 and its paralog Esrp2 results in widespread developmental defects with broad implications to human disease. Deletion of the Esrps in the epidermis revealed their requirement for establishing a proper skin barrier, a primary function of epithelial cells comprising the epidermis. We profiled the global Esrp-mediated splicing regulatory program in epidermis, which revealed large-scale programs of epithelial cell-type-specific splicing required for epithelial cell functions. These mice represent a valuable model for evaluating the essential role for AS in development and function of epithelial cells, which play essential roles in tissue homeostasis in numerous organs, and provide a genetic tool to evaluate important functional properties of epithelial-specific splice variants in vivo.

  • ESRPs are a conserved family of epithelial-specific RBPs that exert broad control over many physiological processes, including tissue regeneration and the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during development and cancer progression.

    “ESRPs are a conserved family of epithelial-specific RBPs that exert broad control over many physiological processes, including tissue regeneration and the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) during development and cancer progression (Warzecha et al. 2010; Lu et al. 2013; Bebee et al. 2015; Derham and Kalsotra 2023).”

    From ESRP2–microRNA-122 axis promotes the postnatal onset of liver polyploidization and maturation (2025) · cites this paper as Bebee et al. 2015

    The Introduction describes ESRP1 and ESRP2 as epithelial-specific regulators of a genome-wide splicing program, including targets in EMT-related pathways. The Discussion describes conservation across species, and the paper supports a role in mammalian development. The passages do not establish ESRP control of tissue regeneration or cancer progression; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
