Binding of RUNX3 to the JAG1 gene promoter inhibits transcription of JAG1, which correlates with reduced amount of cleaved JAG1 receptor, NOTCH1. There is an inverse correlation between the expression levels of RUNX3 and JAG1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines and tumor samples. HCC cell lines with higher RUNX3 levels have reduced tumorigenic capacity (Nishina et al. 2011).
