Wild‑type IDH1 affects cell migration by modulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in primary glioblastoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common type of brain cancer and has the highest mortality. Dysregulated expression of wild‑type isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) has been demonstrated to promote the progression of primary GBM without accumulating D‑2‑hydroxyglutarate, which differs from IDH1 mutation‑related mechanisms of tumorigenesis. Previous studies have revealed several roles of wild‑type IDH1 in primary GBM, involving proliferation and apoptosis. However, the function of IDH1 in cell migration has not been investigated. In the current study, the results of bioinformatics analysis revealed that IDH1 expression was significantly upregulated in patients with primary GBM. Wound healing and Transwell assays demonstrated that IDH1 overexpression promoted cell migration in primary GBM cells
