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.</p>","PeriodicalId":12370,"journal":{"name":"Folia neuropathologica","volume":" ","pages":"355-362"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145713905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
