SGK1

A gene on chromosome 6q23 that encodes serum/glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1, a serine/threonine protein kinase that activates certain K+, Na=, and Cl- channels in response to cell stress, and which appears to be involved in cell survival, neuronal excitability and renal sodium excretion. It is highly expressed in hypertension and diabetic nephropathy.

This project work builds on previous exciting collaborative research between the Alessi lab and AstraZeneca that indicated that SGK protein kinases play critical roles in driving proliferation and survival of cancer cells (Sommer EM et al., Elevated SGK1 predicts resistance of breast cancer cells to Akt inhibitors, Biochem J.

Understanding the differential and complementary roles of SGK isoforms associated with the PI 3kinase and Akt signalling

The GC-GR complex then migrates to the nucleus, binds to the glucocorticoid response element, and activates the transcription of target genes,[28] including MKP-1 ,[29] GILZ ,[30] and SGK1 .[31] Via binding to the receptor, GCs are able to inhibit p38 MAPK by inducing MKP-1, which in turn results in de-phosphorylation of p38.[32] MKP-1 is a phosphatase that dephosphorylates and inactivates MAPKs, including p38 MAPK,[33] and inhibits production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which is critical for the anti-inflammatory functions of GCs.[29] Clark et al .[29] proposed that MKP-1 played a role in the inhibition of p38 MAPK and the consequent destabilization of pro-inflammatory mRNAs by GCs.

Thus, it has been reported that high concentrations of sodium induce the activation of the p38 protein kinase and the nuclear factor NFAT5 as well as the synthesis and activation of the serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 or SGK1; this kinase in turn induces the expression of the receptor for IL-23 and thus favors the differentiation of Th17 cells and the release of proinflammatory cytokines [25].
