What it is
RNA-seq (gene expression)Gene activity measured by sequencing. The summary does not mention single-cell work, so this is most likely bulk: one average per sample, the usual starting point for comparing groups.
Organism
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
13 samples: 13 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groupsGroups are read from the sample names, not from the paper. Check the list below.
Data you can get
A processed table (series matrix) and supplementary files from NCBI; the raw sequencing reads from ENA. Which of these hold counts depends on the study, so check the file list.
Paper
Self-amplifying NRF2-EZH2 epigenetic loop converts KRAS-initiated progenitors to invasive pancreatic cancerNature cancer · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Whether oxidative stress (OxS) acts mutationally or epigenetically to increase cancer risk is unknown. Pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) evolves from benign, low-grade PanIN (pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia) lesions that frequently express oncogenic KRAS. Postulating that known risk factors convert benign PanIN to malignant progenitors via OxS and epigenetic mechanisms, we established a novel system to test this hypothesis.
Read the full summary ↓
Transient incubation of organoids, derived from pancreata with KrasG12D-induced low-grade PanIN, with H2O2 triggered irreversible malignant conversion mediated by an epigenetic network composed of NRF2, its direct transcriptional target EZH2, and EZH2-interacting transcription factors. Pharmacological or genetic activation of this network, maintained by a single NRF2 site in the EZH2 promoter, also triggered rapid malignant conversion and upregulation of malignancy-supportive metabolic genes that remained elevated in established PDAC.

Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE214188_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: For RNA-seq the counts are usually a table among the supplementary files (look for 'counts', 'expression', 'FPKM' or 'TPM' in the file name). The series matrix of a sequencing study is sometimes nearly empty.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA884336 and SRA study SRP399636. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
13 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 13 sample titles: 13 distinct titles with little repetition. These groups are guessed from the sample names, not taken from the paper, so check them against the sample list below before relying on them.
