Despite the advantages of early detection and improved treatments, studies into the </p><p>mechanisms that initiate and drive breast cancer progression are still required. Recent studies have identified RUNX1, which is an essential transcription factor for hematopoiesis, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in breast cancer patients. However, the role of RUNX1 in the mammary gland is understudied. </p><p>In this dissertation, we examined the role of RUNX1 in both normal mammary epithelial and breast cancer cells. Our <em>in vitro </em>studies demonstrated that RUNX1 inhibits epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion, reflecting its tumor suppressor activity, which was confirmed <em>in vivo</em>. Moreover,&nbsp;RUNX1 also contributes significantly to inhibition of the phenotypes of breast cancer stem cells (CSC), which is responsible for metastasis and tumor relapse.&nbsp;We showed that Runx1 overexpression reduces the tumorsphere formation and cancer stem cell population. Overall, our studies provide mechanistic evidence for RUNX1 repression of EMT in mammary cells, anti-tumor activity <em>in vivo </em>and regulation of CSC-like properties in breast cancer. </p><p>Our results highlight crucial roles for RUNX1 in preventing epithelial to mesenchymal transition and tumor progression in breast cancer. This RUNX1 mediated mechanism points to novel intervention strategies for early stage breast cancer. </p><p>iv </p><p><strong>Table of Contents </strong></p><p>Acknowledgements……………………………………….…………….……..……………iii Abstract………………………………………………………………….……...……….…...iv Table of Contents...…………………………………………………………………............v List of Figures……………………………………………………………...…………......….x List of Tables…………………………………………………..…………………….……..xiii List of Symbols and Abbreviations………..……..…………………..……………….….xiv Preface……………………………………………….……………………………………..xvi CHAPTER I.
