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
Homo sapiens (human)
Samples
11 samples: 6 × bHSCt vs 5 × nHSCtGroups 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.
Summary (written by the submitters)
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is an important public health burden. Chronic HBV infection always leads to chronic hepatitis, liver fibrosis and increases the incidence of liver cancer. However, the mechanism of liver fibrosis caused by persistent HBV infection remains unclear. Methods: In present study, we isolated and enriched primary human hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) from chronically HBV infected patients with liver cirrhosis.

The differences expression of mRNA and protein were analyzed by combining proteomics, transcriptomics, and biological network analysis. Results: After bioinformatics analysis with transcriptomics and proteomics data, a total of 2,156 genes and 711 proteins were differently expressed between the liver cirrhosis group and control group. GO enrichment analysis and KEGG analysis indicated those differently expressed molecules were mainly involved in oxidative stress, glycometabolism, and fibrous repair. Moreover, a total of 110 overlapping biomarker were identified and two of them (PKM2 and EHD2) were validated as candidates correlated with liver fibrosis by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence from primary human HSCs and in vitro cellular hepatic fibrosis model. Conclusion: Our results indicated that PKM2 and EHD2 were overexpressed in chronically HBV infected patients with liver cirrhosis, suggesting them as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for liver fibrosis.

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 GSE221083_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 PRJNA912724 and SRA study SRP413299. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 × bHSCt vs 5 × nHSCt

Supports a between-group comparison across 11 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 11 sample titles; they account for 11 of them. 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.
