Age-dependent oxidative stress is considered to be involved in degenerative processes in age-related neurodegenerative disorders. The L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM or L1) plays an essential role in the regeneration process following neural lesions in the adult nervous system. Protein kinase D1 (PKD1) is increasingly implicated in neuroprotection. Hence, the present study aimed to investigate the possible functional association between L1 and phosphorylated PKD1 (pPKD1) in oxidative stress-induced senescence. The study revealed that recombinant L1 (rL1) upregulated PKD1 phosphorylation, the pErk1/2 level and the Bcl2/Bax ratio in SK-N-SH cells in a concentration-dependent manner, with a peak level observed at 5 nM. L1 also increased the pPKD1 level in human pluripotent stem cells. In the 20 µM H2O2-induced senescence SK-N-SH cell model, L1 also increased the pPKD1 level and decreased the number of SA-b-gal-positive cells. On the whole, the results of the present study suggest that L1 is capable of modulating PKD1 phosphorylation to inhibit oxidative stress-induced senescence.
