The retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha) is an important therapeutic target impacting diverse biological processes Activation of RXRa is known to suppress cancer cell growth. However, the cellular mechanism has been elusive In the present study, we addressed its role during stem cell differentiation and the underlying connections with carcinogenesis RXRa was significantly upregulated following the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) toward the formation of endothelial cell (EC) However, overexpression of RXRa in hMSC provoked a senescence like phenotype accompanied by the elevation of tumor suppressor p53, p21, and p16 Consistently, RXRa level was suppressed in cancer cells (-five times lower compared to differentiated hMSC), and its elevation could inhibit the proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis of cancer cells We further demonstrated that these inhibitory effects were related to RXRa's interaction with estrogen receptor a (ERa) as well as EGF and ANGPTL3 through modulating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by AKT and FAK phosphorylation Moreover, RXRa inhibited glycolytic metabolism in cancer cells, which might be underlying its inhibition of differentiation and carcinogenic features These data suggest that RXRa acts as a suppressor rather than a driving force during stem cell differentiation, and unbalanced RXRa can trigger multiple yet connected signaling pathways in preventing carcinogenesis.
