RUNX1/RUNX1T1 is the most common fusion gene found in acute myeloid leukemia. Seminal contributions by many different research groups have revealed a complex regulatory network promoting leukemic self-renewal and propagation.

Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) also known as acute myeloid leukemia 1 protein (AML1) or core-binding factor subunit alpha-2 (CBFA2) and it is a protein that is encoded by the RUNX1 gene, in humans. [5][6] RUNX1 is a transcription factor that regulates the differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells into mature blood cells. [7]

Runt-related transcription factors (RUNX) are a family of transcription factors that are essential for normal and malignant hematopoietic processes. Their most widely recognized role in malignancy is to promote the occurrence and development of acute myeloid leukemia.

RUNX1 controls expression of genes essential for proper development in many cell lineages and tissues including blood, bone, cartilage, hair follicles and mammary glands. Compromised RUNX1 regulation is associated with many cancers.

Nov 2, 2023 · Germline RUNX1 haplodeficiency is associated with thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction and predisposition to myeloid malignancies. Three major RUNX1 isoforms (A, B and C) are recognized and share a DNA binding RUNT …

Jun 10, 2021 · Runt-related transcription factor 1 (Runx1) can act as both an activator and a repressor. Here we show that CRISPR-mediated deletion of Runx1 in mouse metanephric mesenchyme-derived mK4 cells results in large-scale genome-wide changes to chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

May 21, 2020 · In this issue of Blood, Simon et al evaluated 430 samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for germline and somatic mutations in RUNX family transcription factor 1 (RUNX1). They found that nearly 30% of the identified variants were germline. 1.

RUNX1T1 (Runt-related transcription factor 1, translocated to 1), a myeloid translocation gene (MTG) family member, is usually investigated as part of the fusion protein RUNX1-RUNX1T1 for its role in acute myeloid leukemia.

BET protein antagonists target RUNX1 (i.e. specific BET inhibitors, BRD4 shRNRA, proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTAC) or expression-mimickers). All these molecules improve survival in mutant RUNX1 AML preclinical models.
