SGK2
SGK2 is a serum/glucocorticoid-regulated serine/threonine kinase and an SGK isoform related to SGK1 and SGK3[1]. Mechanistically, SGK2 links PI3K-related kinase signaling with ERK1/2, AKT, GSK-3β/β-catenin, autophagy, and ferroptosis-associated GPX4 regulation in cancer models[2][3][4][5]. Compared with related SGK isoforms, SGK2 shows distinct experimental relevance in colon, renal, hepatocellular, prostate, and ovarian cancer models[2][3][4][5][6]. For research applications, SGK2 inhibition has been used to increase platinum sensitivity by blocking autophagy through impaired lysosomal acidification[6].

PT109
0 ImagesPT109 is an orally active, blood-brain barrier permeable multi-kinase inhibitor. By inhibiting PTBP1, PT109 promotes the switch of pyruvate kinase isoform from PKM2 to PKM1, thereby effectively inhibiting the proliferation and migration of glioblastoma multiforme and inducing its reprogramming into oligodendrocytes. PT109 also targets and regulates key signaling molecules such as JNK, SGK1, GSK3β to exert neuroprotective effects including promoting neurogenesis, inducing synapse formation and alleviating neuroinflammation. In Alzheimer's disease models, PT109 exhibits significant efficacy in improving spatial learning ability, along with excellent in vivo pharmacokinetic properties. PT109 can be used to investigate metabolic reprogramming of glioblastoma multiforme and neuroprotective mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease. -
