Abstract |
Although the function of Runt-related (RUNX) transcription factors has been well characterized in leukemogenesis and regarded as an ideal target in antileukemia strategies, the effect of RUNX-inhibition therapy on bone marrow niche cells andr its impact on the engraftment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells have largely been unknown. Here, we provide evidence suggesting the possible involvement of RUNX transcription factors in the transactivation of E-selectin, a member of selectin family of cell adhesion molecules, on the vascular endothelial cells of the mice bone marrow niche. In our experiments, gene switch-mediated silencing of RUNX downregulated E-selectin expression in the vascular niche and negatively controlled the engraftment of AML cells in the bone marrow, extending the overall survival of leukemic mice. Our work identified the novel role of RUNX family genes in the vascular niche and showed that the vascular niche, a home for AML cells, could be strategically targeted with RUNX-silencing antileukemia therapies. Considering the excellent efficacy of RUNX-inhibition therapy on AML cells themselves as we have previously reported, this strategy potentially targets AML cells both directly and indirectly, thus providing a better chance of cure for poor-prognostic AML patients.
