Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipases C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) signaling has been shown to modulate osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocyte metabolism. However, the role of PLC-γ1 in OA osteoblasts remains unclear. Herein, whether and how PLC-γ1 was involved in mineralization in OA subchondral bone osteoblasts were investigated.
