<jats:p>The inner cell mass of the mouse blastocyst gives rise to the pluripotent epiblast (EPI), which forms the embryo proper, and the primitive endoderm (PrE), which forms extra-embryonic yolk sac tissues. All inner cells co-express lineage markers such as Nanog and Gata6 at embryonic day (E) 3.25, and the EPI and PrE precursor cells eventually segregate to exclusively express Nanog and Gata6, respectively. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signalling is involved in segregation of the EPI and PrE lineages; however, the mechanism involved in Fgf4-regulation is poorly understood. Here, we identified Klf5 as an upstream repressor of Fgf4. While Fgf4 was markedly upregulated in Klf5 knockout (KO) embryos at E3.0, it was downregulated in embryos overexpressing Klf5. Furthermore, Klf5 KO and overexpressing blastocysts showed skewed lineage specification phenotypes, similar to FGF4-treated preimplantation embryos and Fgf4 KO embryos, respectively. Inhibitors of the FGF receptor and ERK pathways reversed the skewed lineage specification of Klf5 KO blastocysts. These data demonstrate that Klf5 suppresses Fgf4-Fgfr-ERK signalling, thus preventing precocious activation of the PrE specification programme.</jats:p>
