The salt-inducible kinases (SIKs) control a novel molecular switch regulating macrophage polarization. Inhibition of SIKs is reported to promote a macrophage phenotype switch to a 'regulatory'-like phenotype [2-3], that favours resolution of inflammation. This action of SIKs provides a novel intervention point for pharmacological agents with potential as therapeutics for chronic inflammatory diseases.
