SGK1 inhibition induces autophagy-dependent apoptosis via the mTOR-Foxo3a pathway

In summary, our findings show that SGK1 inhibition exhibits significant antitumour effects against PCa in vitro and in vivo. This study uncovered a novel mechanism of SGK1 inhibition in PCa, which is mediated, at least in part, by inducing autophagy-dependent apoptosis via the mTOR-Foxo3a pathway.
