- Glioma growth and progression depend on a specialized subpopulation of tumour cells, termed tumour stem cells. Thus, tumour stem cells represent a critical therapeutic target, but the molecular mechanisms that regulate them are poorly understood. Hypoxia plays a key role in tumour progression and in this study we provide evidence that the hypoxic tumour microenvironment also controls tumour stem cells. We define a detailed molecular signature of tumour stem cell genes, which are overexpressed by tumour cells in vascular and perinecrotic/hypoxic niches. Mechanistically, we show that hypoxia plays a key role in the regulation of the tumour stem cell phenotype through hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha and subsequent induction of specific tumour stem cell signature genes, including mastermind-like protein 3 (Notch pathway), nuclear factor of activated T cells 2 (calcineurin pathway) and aspartate beta-hydroxylase domain-containing protein 2.
