HOXA10 is a sequence-specific transcription factor that plays critical roles in reproductive tract development, hematopoiesis, and cancer biology. In reproductive health, HOXA10 is essential for uterine development, endometrial receptivity, and embryo implantation, with expression peaking during the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle when implantation occurs 1. The gene regulates downstream targets involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, cytokine signaling, and cell adhesion molecules necessary for trophoblast invasion 1. HOXA10 expression is dynamically regulated by estrogen and progesterone, and its dysregulation through DNA hypermethylation or altered histone acetylation compromises endometrial receptivity in conditions like endometriosis and adenomyosis 12. In hematopoiesis, HOXA10 functions as one of seven transcription factors sufficient to convert haemogenic endothelium into functional hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells capable of multi-lineage engraftment 3. In cancer, HOXA10 exhibits context-dependent roles: it promotes metastasis in gastric cancer through epithelial-mesenchymal transition via the TGFB2/Smad/METTL3 signaling axis 4, while serving as a tumor suppressor in prostate cancer where high expression correlates with better differentiation and improved biochemical recurrence-free survival 5.
