BACKGROUND: Serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 3 (SGK3) has been reported
to play an important role in tumour progression, but its role in cancer stem
cells (CSCs) remains obscure. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is
considered a hallmark of cancer. Although many PI3K pathway-targeted therapies
have been tested in oncology trials, the results are not satisfactory. METHODS:
We used spheroids cultured in serum-free culture medium and MicroBead isolation
to obtain liver CSCs. Spheroid formation assay and flow cytometric analysis were
performed to investigate liver CSC expansion. Real-time polymerase chain reaction
(PCR), western blot and immunofluorescence were used to assess gene expression in
cell lines. RESULTS: We found that SGK3 is preferentially activated in liver
CSCs. Upregulated SGK3 significantly increases the expansion of liver CSCs.
Conversely, suppression of SGK3 in human hepatocarcinoma (HCC) cells had an
opposite effect. Mechanistically, SGK3 promoted ?-catenin accumulation by
suppressing GSK-3?-mediated ?-catenin degradation in liver CSCs, and then
promoting the expansion of liver CSCs. Prolonged treatment of HCC cells with
class I PI3K inhibitors leads to activation of SGK3 and expansion of liver CSCs.
Inhibition of hVps34 can block SGK3 activity and suppress liver CSC expansion
induced by PI3K inhibitors. More importantly, we also found that prolonged
treatment of HCC cells with PI3K inhibitors stimulates the ?-catenin signalling
pathway via activation of SGK3. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged inhibition of class I PI3K
promotes liver CSC expansion by augmenting SGK3-dependent ?-catenin
stabilisation, and effective inhibition of SGK3 signalling may be useful in
eliminating liver CSCs and in PI3K pathway-targeted cancer therapies.
