In this study, Zezulin et al. describe the essential role of transcription factor RUNX1 in controlling the inflammatory transcriptional program in granulocyte–monocyte progenitors and neutrophils. The loss of RUNX1 causes derepression of TLR4 and type I IFN signaling pathways and retroelements, resulting in neutrophil hyperresponsiveness and innate immunity disorders or malignancies. The transcription factor RUNX1 is mutated in familial platelet disorder with associated myeloid malignancy (FPDMM) and in sporadic myelodysplastic syndrome and leukemia. RUNX1 was shown to regulate inflammation in multiple cell types. Here we show that RUNX1 is required in granulocyte–monocyte progenitors (GMPs) to epigenetically repress two inflammatory signaling pathways in neutrophils: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and type I interferon (IFN) signaling. RUNX1 loss in GMPs augments neutrophils’ inflammatory response to the TLR4 ligand lipopolysaccharide through increased expression of the TLR4 coreceptor CD14. RUNX1 binds Cd14 and other genes encoding proteins in the TLR4 and type I IFN signaling pathways whose chromatin accessibility increases when RUNX1 is deleted. Transcription factor footprints for the effectors of type I IFN signaling—the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT1::STAT2) and interferon regulatory factors (IRFs)—were enriched in chromatin that gained accessibility in both GMPs and neutrophils when RUNX1 was lost. STAT1::STAT2 and IRF motifs were also enriched in the chromatin of retrotransposons that were derepressed in RUNX1-deficient GMPs and neutrophils. We conclude that a major direct effect of RUNX1 loss in GMPs is the derepression of type I IFN and TLR4 signaling, resulting in a state of fixed maladaptive innate immunity.
