Abstract:
The study of RunX3 in tumor pathogenesis is a rapidly expanding area of cancer research.Functional inactivation of RunX3 is frequently observed in tumors of diverse origins.RunX3 can bind directly to the TGF-β signaling effectors for synergistic induction,enhancing the growth inhibitory effect of TGF-β signal pathway.Additionally,RunX3 can also bind to the complex TCF4-β-catenin in Wnt signal pathway for inhibiting its tumorigenicity.Through the two signal pathway mentioned above,RunX3 can regulate the epithelial mesenchymal transitions process.Moreover,the transcription of claudin-1 can be directly regulated by RunX3.RunX3 has also been described to have an oncogenic function in a subset of tumors,but how RunX3 switches from tumor suppression to oncogenic activity is yet unknown.This review focuses on summarizing the important findings about the mechanism and relative signal pathway of RunX3 in tumor suppression from the articles published recently.
