Runx1 Deficiency in CD4+ T Cells Causes Fatal Autoimmune Inflammatory Lung Disease Due to Spontaneous Hyperactivation of Cells

The Runx1 transcription factor is abundantly expressed in naive T cells but rapidly downregulated in activated T cells, suggesting that it plays an important role in a naive stage. In the current study, Runx1−/−Bcl2tg mice harboring Runx1-deleted CD4+ T cells developed a fatal autoimmune lung diseas...
