Runx1 expression marks the putative hemogenic endothelium between embryonic days (E) 8.5 to 11.5 of mouse gestation and is required for the formation of intra-aortic hematopoietic clusters, leading to the hypothesis that Runx1 is required for the transition from endothelial to hematopoietic cell. To address this hypothesis, we ablated the Runx1 gene by Cre-recombinase-mediated excision, with Cre expression under the control of the Tek promoter and enhancer. Most embryos died between E12.5 and El with a phenotype almost identical Runx1 deficiency. We conclude that Runx1 function in establishing definitive hematopoiesis is required in a Tek(+) cell.
