Abstract
A subset of patients with IDH-mutant glioma respond to inhibitors of mutant IDH (IDHi), yet the molecular underpinnings of such responses are not understood. Here, we profiled by single-cell or single-nucleus RNA-sequencing three IDH-mutant oligodendrogliomas from patients who derived clinical benefit from IDHi. Importantly, the tissues were sampled on-drug, four weeks from treatment initiation. We further integrate our findings with analysis of single-cell and bulk transcriptomes from independent cohorts and experimental models. We find that IDHi treatment induces a robust differentiation toward the astrocytic lineage, accompanied by a depletion of stem-like cells and a reduction of cell proliferation. Furthermore, mutations in NOTCH1 are associated with decreased astrocytic differentiation and may limit the response to IDHi. Our study highlights the differentiating potential of IDHi on the cellular hierarchies that drive oligodendrogliomas and suggests a genetic modifier that may improve patient stratification.

Abstract
Abstract
In a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of glioblastoma we identified aberrant methylation of the HIV-1 Tat interactive protein 2 (HTATIP2) gene promotor. This was strongly correlated with downregulation of HTATIP2 gene expression, suggesting a potential tumor suppressor function in glioblastoma. HTATIP2 has been shown to inhibit nuclear translocation through interaction with β-importins. We hypothesize that deregulation of HTATIP2 expression inhibits nuclear entry of cancer-relevant proteins, thereby disturbing their specific function in the nucleus. We identified N-Methylpurine-DNA Glycosylase (MPG) as a potential cancer relevant candidate with the observation of nuclear and/or cytoplasmic localization in glioblastoma. MPG is a DNA repair protein that recognizes DNA lesions (N7-meG, N3-meA) and initiates base excision repair. We have shown that nuclear MPG expression contributes to resistance of glioblastoma to treatment with the alkylating agent temozolomide. Here we investigated the effect of HTATIP2 on cellular localization of MPG using (i) an inducible system (TET-ON) to express HTATIP2 in non-expressing glioblastoma cells, and (ii) HTATIP2-targeting siRNAs to knock down HTATIP2 in cells with endogenous expression. Results from confocal microscopy or Imagestream analyses showed a significant cytoplasmic retention of MPG in presence of HTATIP2, while knock-down of HTATIP2 resulted in nuclear MPG localization. Cytoplasmic retention of MPG in the presence of HTATIP2 was associated with a significant increase in γ-H2Ax signal after treatment with the alkylating agent: methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), suggesting increase in DNA damage. Mechanistically, we found that HTATIP2 co-localizes with importin β1, and excludes MPG localization. Furthermore, HTATIP2 displayed a similar effect on cytoplasmic retention of MPG as pharmacologic inhibition of Importin β 1. Taken together, these results suggest that epigenetic silencing of HTATIP2 may increase nuclear localization of MPG, thereby increasing the capacity of the tumor cells to repair treatment related lesions and thereby contributing to treatment resistance.
