loss of RUNX3 expression can enhance the AKT1-mediated signaling pathway and promote the tumorigenesis process in human gastric cancer (

aberrant expression of RUNX3 was associated with the pathogenesis of Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)
Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism
Candidate gene promoter methylation and silencing of RUNX3 could be useful prognostic markers for both bladder tumor recurrence and progression
Marker
  • RUNX3 and CAMK2N1 hypermethylation are prognostic marker for epithelial ovarian cancer
  • Therapy target
    SystemTypeDisorderPubmed
    cancerdigestivestomach
    therapeutic approaches including anti-inflammatory regimens that could diminish the hypoxic insult in gastric epithelial cells should, therefore, be considered and adopted to prevent gastric carcinogenesis and progression
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Runx3 +/- mice develop lung adenomas spontaneously, providing an animal model for lung tumorigenesis that recapitulate the preneoplastic stage of human lung adenocarcinoma development
  • Runx3-deficient mice develop severe congenital osteopenia
