ABSTRACT
We have identified a new t(1;21)(p32;q22) chromosomal translocation in a MDS/AML patient that results in expression of an aberrant C-terminally truncated RUNX1 protein lacking several regulatory domains. As similar truncated RUNX1 proteins are generated by genetic aberrations including chromosomal translocations and point mutations, we used the t(1;21)(p32;q22) chromosomal translocation as a model to explore whether C-terminally truncated RUNX1 proteins trigger effects similar to those induced by well-characterized leukemogenic RUNX1 fusion genes. In vitro analysis of transduced human hematopoietic/progenitor stem cells showed that truncated RUNX1 proteins increase proliferation and self-renewal and disrupt the differentiation program by interfering with RUNX1b. These effects are similar to but milder than those induced by the RUNX1/ETO fusion protein. GSEA analysis confirmed similar altered gene expression patterns in the truncated RUNX1 and RUNX1/ETO models, with both models showing alterations in genes involved in self-renewal and leukemogenesis, including homeobox genes, primitive erythroid genes and leukemogenic transcription factors. We propose that C-terminally truncated RUNX1 proteins can contribute to leukemogenesis in a similar way to RUNX1 fusion genes but through a milder phenotype.
