ABSTRACT: Understanding the glioma stem cell (GSC) heterogeneity within IDH1 and TP53 mutant tumors may elucidate possible targets for astrocytoma treatment. We performed single-nucleus transcriptomics of 6 mutant and wild-type glioma samples sorted for Sox2 stem cell marker. Malignant states of different clusters were evaluated by the expression of the normal and hematopoietic markers. We found that mutant GSCs were characterized by collagen synthesis and CD44-high phenotype prone to migration, while wild-type GSCs had vulnerability points in ATP synthesis. Additionally, mutant GSCs displayed altered lipogenesis probably attributed to the low NADPH consumed by mutant IDH1. The collagen and lipid biosynthesis represent possible target pathways for prospective tackling GSCs with IDH1 R132H and TP53 point mutations, uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation are promising to address wild-type GSC proliferation
