Alveolar bone supports and anchors teeth. The parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) pathway plays a key role in alveolar bone biology. Salt inducible kinases (SIKs) are important downstream regulators of PTH/PTHrP signaling in the appendicular skeleton, where SIK inhibition increases bone formation and trabecular bone mass.

The extracellular matrix-F-actin-Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1)-Notch mechanosignaling axis is a gatekeeper in the fate decisions of bipotent pancreatic progenitors (bi-PPs). However, the link between F-actin dynamics and YAP1 activity remains poorly understood. Here, we identify salt-inducible kinases (SIKs) as mediators of F-actin-triggered changes in YAP1 activity.

Salt-inducible kinases (SIKs), a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family, have recently garnered considerable research interest as one of the emerging key regulators of metabolism. The 3 SIK isoforms-SIK1, SIK2, and SIK3-exhibit diverse roles both in central and peripheral physiological processes. While early studies focused on their role in inflammation, spurring the development of SIK inhibitors for chronic inflammatory diseases currently in clinical trials, emerging evidence highlights their broader functions in metabolism.

Salt-inducible kinases (SIKs), a group of serine/threonine kinases in the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family, exist in three isoforms: SIK1, SIK2 and SIK3. These kinases are crucial in various physiological processes. Emerging evidence indicates that dysregulation of SIK expression and activation significantly contributes to carcinogenesis by promoting cellular proliferation, metabolic dysregulation, metastasis and chemoresistance through the modulation of crucial signaling pathways.

Pancreatic cancer ranks fourth among cancer-related deaths with a low 5-year overall survival rate of less than 13%. At present, treatment of pancreatic cancer is still based on chemotherapy, but the efficacy is limited. Thus, a novel therapeutic agent for pancreatic cancer therapy is urgently needed.
