Serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 regulates neutrophil clearance during inflammation resolution
Open accessAbstract
The inflammatory response is integral to maintaining health by functioning to resist microbial infection and repair tissue damage. Large numbers of neutrophils are recruited to inflammatory sites to neutralize invading bacteria through phagocytosis and the release of proteases and reactive oxygen species into the extracellular environment. Removal of the original inflammatory stimulus must be accompanied by resolution of the inflammatory response, including neutrophil clearance, to prevent inadvertent tissue damage. Neutrophil apoptosis and its temporary inhibition by survival signals provides a target for anti-inflammatory therapeutics, making it essential to better understand this process. GM-CSF, a neutrophil survival factor, causes a significant increase in mRNA levels for the known anti-apoptotic protein serum and glucocorticoid–regulated kinase 1 (SGK1). We have characterized the expression patterns and regulation of SGK family members in human neutrophils and shown that inhibition of SGK activity completely abrogates the antiapoptotic effect of GM-CSF. Using a transgenic zebrafish model, we have disrupted sgk1 gene function and shown this specifically delays inflammation resolution, without altering neutrophil recruitment to inflammatory sites in vivo. These data suggest SGK1 plays a key role in regulating neutrophil survival signaling and thus may prove a valuable therapeutic target for the treatment of inflammatory disease.

Inhibiting SGK activity completely nullifies effects of neutrophil survival factors, leading to delayed resolution of inflammation, but does not alter neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation.
“Inhibiting SGK activity completely nullifies the effects of neutrophil survival factors, leading to a delayed resolution of inflammation. However, this does not alter the recruitment of neutrophils to sites of inflammation within the body”
From Serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 1 (SGK1) in neurological disorders: pain or gain (2024) · cites this paper as Burgon et al., 2014
The Results report that SGK1 inhibition increased, rather than delayed, inflammation resolution (genetic inhibition section; page unavailable). They also report that inhibition blocked survival induced by GM-CSF and hypoxia, but not by LPS or ATPγs (human neutrophil survival section). Recruitment was unchanged after genetic knockdown, although the inhibitor GSK650394 reduced it through apparent off-target effects. (LLM, conf=0.92)

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.
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.
