RUNX1 positively regulates a cell adhesion and migration program in murine hemogenic endothelium prior to blood emergence.
During ontogeny, the transcription factor RUNX1 governs the emergence of definitive hematopoietic cells from specialized endothelial cells called hemogenic endothelium (HE). The ultimate consequence of this endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition is the concomitant activation of the hematopoietic program and downregulation of the endothelial program. However, due to the rare and transient natur...
متن کاملHematopoiesis and Stem Cells
Although the critical requirement for the transcription factor RUNX1/AML1 at the onset of hematopoietic development is well established, little is known about its transcriptional targets at this pivotal stage of blood development. Using microarrays, we identified the uncharacterized gene AI467606 as a gene whose expression level is dramatically reduced in the absence of RUNX1. We further demons...
متن کاملInvolvement of Runx1 in the down-regulation of fetal liver kinase-1 expression during transition of endothelial cells to hematopoietic cells.
During early mouse embryogenesis, fetal liver kinase-1 (Flk-1), a receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor, and Runx1, a runt domain transcription factor, have prerequisite roles in the generation of hematopoietic lineages. Flk-1 expression is maintained in successive stages from mesodermal to endothelial cells and is down-regulated in nascent hematopoietic cells, whereas Runx1 (Runt-rel...
متن کاملHEMATOPOIESIS AND STEM CELLS Hmga2 is a direct target gene of RUNX1 and regulates expansion of myeloid progenitors in mice
RUNX1, also known as AML1 and CBFa2, is a member of the Runt family of proteins. The major function of RUNX1 is to operate as a DNA-binding transcription factor. Studies over the past 20 years have established RUNX1 as a critical player in hematopoiesis and specification of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), becauseneither process canoccurwithoutRUNX1. The importance of RUNX1 is f...
متن کاملCdk6 blocks myeloid differentiation by interfering with Runx1 DNA binding and Runx1-C/EBPalpha interaction.
Interactions between the cell cycle machinery and transcription factors play a central role in coordinating terminal differentiation and proliferation arrest. We here show that cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (Cdk6) is specifically expressed in proliferating hematopoietic progenitor cells, and that Cdk6 inhibits transcriptional activation by Runx1, but not C/EBPalpha or PU.1. Cdk6 inhibits Runx1 acti...
