Abstract
Glioblastomas are the most frequent and aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and despite recent therapeutic advances, they are resistant to treatment. Increasing malignancy of gliomas correlates with an increase in cellularity and a poorly organized tumor vasculature, leading to insufficient blood supply, hypoxic areas, and ultimately to the formation of necrosis. Hypoxia induces direct or indirect changes in the biology of solid tumor and their microenvironment through the activation of HIF transcription factors, leading to increased aggressiveness and tumor resistance to therapy. Not much is known about the epigenetic alterations induced by hypoxia and how they could alter tumor biology. In the present study, we have utilized PIMO as a specific marker of hypoxia in glioblastoma patients, treated with PIMO preoperatively. We have estimated PIMO positivity in each tumor (5-45%) and determined that it positively correlates with the hypoxia marker CA IX (r=0.57). In addition, 10 surgical PIMO cases were dissociated, immune labeled using PIMO antibody, followed by DNA isolation and methylation profiling. Our analysis of differentially top 4000 differentially methylated probes suggests that PIMO-positive (hypoxic) cells are differentially methylated compared to the PIMO-negative cells and these changes are associated with genes involved in hypoxic cellular response. We will validate these findings in additional glioblastoma cases and assess the mechanism of these epigenetic alterations in vitro in glioma stem cell culture conditions and upon exposure of the cells hypoxic conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
