Popis: SummaryRecent studies have revealed that mutations in the transcription factor Runx1 are prevalent in breast tumors. Yet, how loss of Runx1 contributes to breast cancer (BCa) remains unresolved. We demonstrate for the first time that Runx1 represses the breast cancer stem cell (BCSC) phenotype and consequently, functions as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer. Runx1 ectopic expression in MCF10AT1 and MCF10CA1a BCa cells reduces (60%) migration, invasion and in vivo tumor growth in mouse mammary fat pad (P
