The mRNA expression levels of phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCG1) are much higher in IDH wild-type (IDHwt) lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) than in that of IDH mutant (IDHmut) LGGs. Higher PLCG1expression in IDHwt LGGs indicates poor clinical outcome. PLCG1 amplification may act as the key mechanism of PLCG1 upregulation. Depletion of PLCG1 expression can inhibits proliferation and invasion of IDHwt LGG cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The PLC inhibitor U73122 may therefore be a potential therapeutical agent for IDHwt LGGs.
