Serum and glucocorticoid kinase 1 (SGK1) has been reported to be up-regulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, its functions in NSCLC remained unclear. Here, SGK1 was found to be up-regulated in NSCLC samples. Over-expression of SGK1 promoted the growth and migration of NSCLC cells, while down-regulation of SGK1 inhibited the growth, migration and metastasis of NSCLC cells. SGK1 promoted the phosphorylation of GSK3 beta and the accumulation of beta-catenin, up-regulation of the target genes downstream of beta-catenin/TCF signaling, and activating the transcriptional activity of beta-catenin/TCF complex. Collectively, SGK1 might promote the progression of NSCLC through activating beta-catenin/TCF signaling.
血清和糖皮质激素激酶1(SGK1)在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中被报道上调。然而,其在NSCLC中的功能仍不清楚。在此,发现SGK1在NSCLC样本中上调。SGK1的过表达促进了NSCLC细胞的生长和迁移,而SGK1的下调则抑制了NSCLC细胞的生长、迁移和转移。SGK1促进糖原合成酶激酶3β(GSK3β)的磷酸化和β-连环蛋白的积累,上调β-连环蛋白/TCF信号下游的靶基因,并激活β-连环蛋白/TCF复合物的转录活性。总的来说,SGK1可能通过激活β-连环蛋白/TCF信号促进NSCLC的进展。
