The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM) is crucial for the development of the nervous system, with an essential role in regulating multiple cellular activities. Protein kinase D1 (PKD1) serves as a key kinase given its diverse array of functions within the cell. Here, we investigated various aspects of the functional relationship between L1 and phosphorylated PKD1 (pPKD1) in cerebellar granule neurons. To study the relationship between L1 and PKD1 phosphorylation, human cerebellar tissue microarrays were subject to immunofluorescence staining. We observed a positive correlation between L1 protein levels and PKD1 phosphorylation. In addition, L1 also co-localized with pPKD1. To analyze the regulatory role of L1 on PKD1 phosphorylation, primary mouse cerebellar granule neurons were treated with various concentrations of rL1 for 48 h. Using Western blot, we revealed that L1 significantly increased PKD1 phosphorylation compared with vehicle control, with the maximal effect observed at 5 nM. ERK1/2 phosphorylation was significantly increased by 2.5 nM and 10nM L1, with no apparent change in SRC phosphorylation. However, SRC expression was markedly reduced by 10nM rL1. AKT1 expression and phosphorylation levels were significantly increased by rL1, with the maximal effect observed at 2.5 and 5 nM, respectively. Our combined data revealed a positive relationship between L1 and pPKD1 in both cultured cerebellar neurons and human cerebellar tissue, suggesting that L1 functions in the modulation of PKD1 phosphorylation.

Article Synopsis
- Ouabain, a hormone, speeds up the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) by increasing cyst area and fibrosis specifically in ADPKD mice due to its interaction with Na,K-ATPase (NKA).
- Researchers created a mouse model with a knockout of caveolin-1 (CAV1), the main structural protein of caveolae, to investigate the role of these structures in ouabain's effect on ADPKD.
- The study found that without caveolae, the ADPKD mice did not show increased cyst progression or cellular changes in response to ouabain, indicating that caveolae play a crucial role in NKA signaling and the advancement of

PKD1 regulates a number of cellular processes through the formation of complexes with the PKD2 ion channel or transient receptor potential classical (TRPC) 4 in the endothelial cells. Although Ca modulation by polycystins has been reported between PKD1 and TRPC4 channel or TRPC1 and PKD2, the function with TRPC subfamily regulated by PKD2 has remained elusive. We confirmed TRPC4 or TRPC5 channel activation via PKD1 by modulating G-protein signaling without change in TRPC4/C5 translocation.

Background: Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a prevalent genetic disorder characterized by the formation of renal cysts leading to kidney failure. Despite known genetic underpinnings, the variability in disease progression suggests additional regulatory layers, including epigenetic modifications.
Methods: We utilized various ADPKD models, including Pkd1 and Ezh2 conditional knockout (Pkd1:Ezh2) mice, to explore the role of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) in cystogenesis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates HL156A, a potent AMPK activator, as a potential treatment for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), which is commonly associated with cyst growth in kidneys.
- In laboratory tests, HL156A significantly inhibited the proliferation of renal cyst cells, showing a 25% reduction in cell viability at concentrations as low as 5 µM, while metformin had no effect.
- In mouse models, HL156A demonstrated its ability to effectively reduce both the number and size of cysts, improve kidney function, and modify key cellular signaling pathways related to cyst growth.

Multiple alterations of cellular metabolism have been documented in experimental studies of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and are thought to contribute to its pathogenesis. To elucidate the molecular pathways and transcriptional regulators associated with the metabolic changes of renal cysts in ADPKD, we compared global gene expression data from human renal cysts, minimally cystic tissues (MCT) from the same patients, and healthy human kidney cortical tissue samples. We found gene expression profiles of renal cysts were consistent with the Warburg effect with gene pathway changes favoring increased cellular glucose uptake and lactate production, instead of pyruvate oxidation.
