Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) has been established as a regulator of diverse biological processes including cell metabolism. A recent study has reported that SIK2 is required for adipocyte-induced ovarian cancer (OC) survival through facilitating fatty acid oxidation. However, whether SIK2 also plays a role in the lipid synthesis in OC cells remains elusive. Here, we showed that SIK2 significantly promoted the lipid synthesis in OC cells. On the one hand, SIK2 enhanced fatty acid synthesis through upregulating the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 1c (SREBP1c) and thus the transcription of major lipogenic enzyme FASN. On the other hand, SIK2 promoted cholesterol synthesis through upregulating the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 (SREBP2) and thus the transcription of major cholesterol synthesis enzymes HMGCR. Moreover, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was found to be involved in the upregulation of SREBP1c and SREBP2 in OC cells. Moreover, in vitro and in vivo assays indicated that the SIK2-regulated fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis played a critical role in the growth of OC cells. Our findings demonstrate that SIK2 is a critical regulator of lipid synthesis in OC cells and thus promotes OC growth, which provides a strong line of evidence for this molecule to be used as a therapeutic target in the treatment of this malignancy.

SIK2通过PI3K/Akt信号通路增强卵巢癌细胞中脂肪酸和胆固醇的合成以及肿瘤生长。

盐诱导激酶 2 (SIK2) 已被确定为包括细胞代谢在内的多种生物过程的调节剂。最近的一项研究报告称，SIK2 通过促进脂肪酸氧化而成为脂肪细胞诱导的卵巢癌 (OC) 存活所必需的。然而，SIK2 是否也在 OC 细胞的脂质合成中发挥作用仍不清楚。在这里，我们发现 SIK2 显着促进 OC 细胞中的脂质合成。一方面，SIK2通过上调甾醇调节元件结合蛋白1c（SREBP1c）的表达以及主要脂肪生成酶FASN的转录来增强脂肪酸合成。另一方面，SIK2通过上调甾醇调节元件结合蛋白2（SREBP2）的表达以及主要胆固醇合成酶HMGCR的转录来促进胆固醇合成。此外，PI3K/Akt信号通路被发现参与OC细胞中SREBP1c和SREBP2的上调。此外，体外和体内测定表明SIK2调节的脂肪酸和胆固醇合成在OC细胞的生长中发挥着关键作用。我们的研究结果表明，SIK2 是 OC 细胞脂质合成的关键调节因子，从而促进 OC 生长，这为该分子用作治疗这种恶性肿瘤的治疗靶点提供了强有力的证据。
