Abstract

Objective To observe the expression of glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase 1 (SGK1) gene in human lung carcinoma.Methods The samples were obtained from 10 cases of lung carcinoma.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting were used for analyzing the SGK1 mRNA and protein expression in 10 samples and adjacent noncanerous tissues.Results SGK1 mRNA and protein expression was not detected in 70% of human lung carcinoma and 20% adjacent noncanerous tissues (P < 0.05).Conclusion SGK1 expression is downregulated in human lung carcinoma tissue,which may play some roles in the pathogenesis of human lung carcinoma. Key words: Lung carcinoma; Serum and glucocorticoid induced protein kinase 1 gene
