Reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis is crucial for leukaemogenesisand deregulation would hamper leukaemic progression. Although the regulatory effects of RUNX1/ETO has been extensively studied, its underlying molecular mechanims in ROS production in t(8,21) AML is yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we report that RUNX1/ETO could directly control FLT3 by occupying several DNA elements on FLT3 locus.

A hallmark of acute myeloid leukaemias (AMLs) are chromosomal rearrangements that give rise to novel leukaemia-specific fusion genes. Most of these fusion genes are both initiating and driving events in AML and therefore constitute ideal therapeutic targets but are challenging to target by conventional drug development. siRNAs are frequently used for the specific suppression of fusion gene expression but require special formulations for efficient in vivo delivery.

Adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing, which is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADAR) family of enzymes, ADAR1 and ADAR2, has been shown to contribute to multiple cancers. However, other than the chronic myeloid leukemia blast crisis, relatively little is known about its role in other types of hematological malignancies. Here, we found that ADAR2, but not ADAR1 and ADAR3, was specifically downregulated in the core-binding factor (CBF) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8;21) or inv(16) translocations.

The fusion protein RUNX1-ETO is an oncogenic transcription factor generated by t(8;21) chromosome translocation, which is found in FAB-M2-type acute myeloid leukemia (AML). RUNX1-ETO is known to dysregulate the normal RUNX1 transcriptional network, which should involve essential factors for the onset of AML with t(8;21). In this study, we screened for possible transcriptional targets of RUNX1 by reanalysis of public data , and identified as a novel RUNX1 target gene because its expression was down-regulated in the presence of RUNX1-ETO.

Large-scale chromosomal translocations are frequent oncogenic drivers in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These translocations often occur in critical transcriptional/epigenetic regulators and contribute to malignant cell growth through alteration of normal gene expression. Despite this knowledge, the specific gene expression alterations that contribute to the development of leukemia remain incompletely understood.
