Serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) in neurological disorders: pain or gain
Open accessAbstract
Serum/Glucocorticoid Regulated Kinase 1 (SGK1), a serine/threonine kinase, is ubiquitous across a wide range of tissues, orchestrating numerous signaling pathways and associated with various human diseases. SGK1 has been extensively explored in diverse types of immune and inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular disorders, as well as cancer metastasis. These studies link SGK1 to cellular proliferation, survival, metabolism, membrane transport, and drug resistance. Recently, increasing research has focused on SGK1’s role in neurological disorders, including a variety of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease), brain injuries (e.g., cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury), psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression and drug addiction). SGK1 is emerging as an increasingly compelling therapeutic target across the spectrum of neurological disorders, supported by the availability of several effective agents. However, the conclusions of many studies observing the prevalence and function of SGK1 in neurological disorders are contradictory, necessitating a review of the SGK1 research within neurological disorders. Herein, we review recent literature on SGK1’s primary functions within the nervous system and its impacts within different neurological disorders. We summarize significant findings, identify research gaps, and outline possible future research directions based on the current understanding of SGK1 to help further progress the understanding and treatment of neurological disorders.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
SGK1 is a stress- and glucocorticoid-responsive serine/threonine kinase with context-dependent, often contradictory roles across neurological disorders, ranging from neuroprotective to pathogenic. This narrative review synthesizes preclinical and clinical evidence on SGK1 in neurodegeneration, brain injury, psychiatric conditions, epilepsy, and drug addiction, and highlights unresolved questions about causality, timing, and cell-type specificity.
Key findings
- SGK1 shows dual roles by disease and model: in AD, SGK1 overexpression reverses spatial memory impairments and reduces Aβ production/deposition in APP/PS1 mice, but high-fat diet-induced SGK1 activation promotes Tau pathology via Tau Ser214 phosphorylation and GSK-3β. In PD, SGK1 downregulation exacerbates α-syn and dopaminergic loss in some models, while SGK1 inhibition ameliorates synuclein aggregation and behavioral deficits in others.
- In cerebral ischemia, SGK1 levels in rats initially double at 6 hours post-MCAO before falling below control after 24 hours; SGK1 knockdown increases infarct size and brain edema, whereas SGK1 inhibition within the thrombolytic window reduces cortical infarction and BBB disruption. After cardiac arrest, hippocampal SGK1 protein and mRNA are elevated for the first three days, with mRNA declining by day seven.
- In HD, SGK1 expression rose 2.7-fold in 3NP-treated mice versus controls, and cannabigerol treatment decreased it 1.41-fold; total SGK protein is upregulated in HD patient brains with disease severity, but SGK1 protein is downregulated in HD cerebral cortex and oligodendrocytes.
- In epilepsy, SGK1 activation reduces seizure severity and mortality in an M-current-dependent manner; in depression, acute ketamine increased striatal SGK1 transcription approximately 1.5- to 2-fold, while clinical samples show a significant negative correlation between SGK1 and BDNF mRNA.
Methods
- Narrative review of recent literature on SGK1 in the nervous system and neurological disorders, including AD, PD, HD, cerebral ischemia, TBI, depression, epilepsy, and drug addiction.
- Synthesizes findings from in vitro, animal model, and human clinical/postmortem studies; includes discussion of pharmacological SGK1 inhibitors/activators and gene-editing approaches, with Table 1 summarizing agents and Table 2 summarizing disease findings.
- No systematic search strategy, inclusion criteria, meta-analysis, or formal quality appraisal is reported in the text.
Limitations
- The paper states that conclusions across SGK1 studies are contradictory, with inconsistencies attributed to diverse experimental models, dose-dependent effects, and methodological variation; causal relationships remain ambiguous, and it is unclear whether SGK1 contributes to disease etiology or acts as a compensatory mechanism.
- The paper states that temporal and spatial patterns of SGK1 in disease need more clarity, there is no consensus on optimal timing for SGK1-targeted treatment, and more research is needed on SGK1 in glial cells and neurovascular coupling.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not provide a systematic synthesis or risk-of-bias assessment, and many mechanistic conclusions rely on preclinical models rather than human data.

The claim appropriately presents the link as potential rather than established. (LLM, conf=0.91)

The Discussion reports that SGK1 knockdown upregulated beclin-1 and LC-3 in the rat MCAO model, and the apoptosis results report increased apoptosis. However, the experiments used shRNA knockdown, not knockout, and tested these effects in rats receiving intracarotid cold saline infusion. The claim omits that treatment condition and describes the autophagy effect more strongly than the measured marker changes establish. (LLM, conf=0.87)

“In the activation process of SGK1, extracellular stimuli induce the activation of mTORC2, which phosphorylates Ser422 on SGK1’s hydrophobic motif (Garcia-Martinez and Alessi, 2008). Subsequently, 3-Phosphoinositide-Dependent Protein Kinase-1 (PDK1) is recruited to the phosphorylated Ser, leading to the transfer of a phosphate group to Thr256 within the kinase domain of SGK1 (Biondi et al., 2001),”

The Results section ('SGK1-mediated tau phosphorylation at Ser214 and GSK-3ß activation'; page unavailable) describes a scaffold-like SGK1–GSK-3β–tau complex and increased tau aggregation and fibril formation. It reports reduced tubulin polymerization activity, but does not show that the complex causes neurofibrillary tangles or disintegrating microtubules in neurons.

“However, in disease states, a deletion mutation in the SGK1 gene resulting in the loss of the first 60 amino acids at the N-terminus prevents effective ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the 26S proteasome. This effect leads to an abnormally high steady-state level of the mutated SGK1 protein”

A conclusion the paper draws from its own results — it cites no other source for it, so there is none to check. The quote shows it is in the paper.
In the paper
“whether SGK1 acts as a catalyst exacerbating DD symptoms or serves as a neuroprotective compensatory agent in DD remains unclear.”
§ Serum/Glucocorticoid Regulated Kinase 1 (SGK1) in Neurological Disorders: Pain or Gain > Activities of SGK1 in neurological disorders > Depression Disorder
plain- Asserted: passes — The authors put it forward as true.
- Checkable: passes — It can be checked against evidence.
- Load-bearing: passes — The paper’s conclusions depend on it.
- Based: passes — The paper gives a reason why it holds.
Probably not a substantial claim. It may state two separate claims as one.
The paper relies on this without support.
Findings from animal models of neurological disorders are predictive of human disease.
“SGK1 is emerging as an increasingly compelling therapeutic target across the spectrum of neurological disorders, supported by the availability of several effective agents.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The effects of pharmacological inhibitors or siRNA against SGK1 are due to specific modulation of SGK1 rather than off-target effects.
“Pharmacological inhibition and silencing of SGK1 can ameliorate pathological synuclein aggregation and PD-related behavioral deficits in various in vitro and in vivo MPTP-induced PD models.”
The paper relies on this without support.
SGK1 has unique biological properties.
“owing to its unique biological properties, SGK1 has been extensively studied across a diverse array of neurological disorders”
Self-check
Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated minor: it would not touch a result — a value no result rests on, a p-value that stays on the same side of the significance level, or a conflict that is clerical, resolved elsewhere in the paper, or outside its own findings.
In the paper
§ Serum/Glucocorticoid Regulated Kinase 1 (SGK1) in Neurological Disorders: Pain or Gain > Activities of SGK1 in neurological disorders > Alzheimer’s disease
“This finding suggests SGK1 may promote the expression or activity of ADAM10 and IDE, thereby enhancing the metabolism of APP through the non-amyloidogenic β pathway and increasing the degradation of Aβ (Lauer et al., 2020).”
§ Serum/Glucocorticoid Regulated Kinase 1 (SGK1) in Neurological Disorders: Pain or Gain > Activities of SGK1 in neurological disorders > Alzheimer’s disease
“Simultaneously, SGK1 maintains stable levels of BACE1 (β-secretase) and Cofilin, indicating its influence does not involve promoting the amyloidogenic β pathway (Hampel et al., 2021; Lian et al., 2020).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-18, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-18 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
