ABSTRACT Hypoxia rapidly alters gene expression to allow cellular adaptation challenging conditions and support tumour growth. also affects the chromatin structure by modifications of histones DNA methylation. Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive, deadly primary brain for which there no effective treatment. The microenvironment GBM highly heterogeneous, with infiltration glioma-associated microglia macrophages (GAMs) presence necrotic, hypoxic regions. mechanisms through hypoxia regulates functions infiltrating immune cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that modulates myeloid markers in distinct ways: upregulates monocytic marker Lgals3 downregulates microglial P2ry12 Tmem119 GAMs vitro vivo , as shown using human mouse single-cell transcriptomics datasets. genome-wide hypoxia-dependent transcriptomic changes were determined microglia-glioma co-cultures. Numerous GAM subtype dysregulated response stress due associated accessibility, ATACseq. While alone drives a decrease overall accessibility at promoters, exposure glioma under leads both increases decreases promoter regions cells. enriched motifs transcription factors regarded master regulators cell identity function, including SPI1 or IRF8 . Overall, our data highlights importance strong intratumoral regulator functions, adds complexity characterisation particular subpopulations.
