The RUNX1:CBFB complex regulates transcription of the SPI1 (PU.1) gene, involved in differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). RUNX1 recruits histone methyltransferase KMT2A (MLL) to the SPI1 gene locus, leading to generation of the activating H3K4Me3 mark on nucleosomes associated with the SPI1 promoter and the upstream regulatory element (Huang et al. 2011). SPI1 transactivation represses self-renewal and proliferation of HSCs (Fukuchi et al. 2008) and is needed for commitment of HSCs to specific hematopoietic lineages (Imperato et al. 2015).
As a component of the TAL1 transcription factor complex, involved in acute T cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), RUNX1 can promote growth and inhibit apoptosis of hematopoietic stem cells by stimulating transcription of the MYB gene and possibly the TRIB2 gene (Sanda et al. 2012, Mansour et al. 2014).
