3. SGK-1: why do we care?
SGK-1 provides a potent survival signal in breast cancer cells (Wu et. al, Cancer Res. 2004)
4. Tonight’s talk:
• Hsp90 plays a key role in regulation of SGK-
1 phosphorylation and activity
• The E3 ligase CHIP plays a role in ubiquitin
modification and proteasome-mediated
degradation of SGK-1
11. SGK-1 and CHIP expression in human breast tissues
SGK-1 positively
expressed in
• Normal
epithelium - 36%
• DCIS - 63%
• IDC - 54%
• Metastatic
tumors - 62%
CHIP positively
expressed in
• Normal
epithelium - 87%
• DCIS - 99%
• IDC - 97%
• Metastatic
tumors - 100%
SGK-1 expressed 56% in tumors (DCIS, IDC, metastatic, n=326) and
36% in normal epithelium (P<0.001)
12. CHIP and SGK-1 expression are inversely correlated in
normal versus malignant epithelium
In CHIP-positive samples, SGK-1 is less expressed in normal
epithelium (42%) but more in tumors (58%) (P=0.012)
