SGK1 and breast cancer: β2M expression was positively correlated with p-CREB, p-SGK1, and Bcl-2 expression and had no correlation with HIF-1α, VEGF, and p-ERK1/2, whereas p-SGK1 exhibited a significantly positive correlation with Bcl-2 expression in cancer tissues of patients with luminal A breast cancer, which coincide with the results obtained from the same molecular types of breast cancer cells except CREB signaling.
