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

69 samples: 17 conditions, mostly in duplicateGroups 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)
Despite effective anti-tuberculous treatment (ATT), up to 40% of patients with central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS-TB) suffer permanent neurological deficits and death. Immunopathology in CNS-TB, characterized by extensive brain inflammation and tissue destruction, is driven by a matrix-degrading phenotype, which results from an increase in matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) relative to their tissue-specific inhibitors (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, TIMPs).

The immunopathological mechanism of CNS-TB remains undefined, hindering the development of new CNS-TB therapies. By performing laser capture microdissection RNA sequencing (LCM-RNA Seq), we profiled the spatial transcriptome of murine CNS-TB (M.tb H37Rv-infected C57BL6 Nos2-/- mice) and healthy murine (C57BL6 Nos2-/- mice) as control. The granulomas from murine CNS-TB treated with ATT alone, ATT with SB-3CT (MMP-2/9-specific MMP inhibitor), and ATT with doxycycline (broad spectrium MMP-inhibitor) were also profiled. Genes implicated in defense, immune, inflammatory and cytokine responses, neutrophil degranulation, antigen presentation and Toll-Like Receptor cascades, present predominantly in CNS-TB granulomas relative to other tissue types. On the other hand, genes relate to trans-synaptic signaling, synapse and cell junction organisation, neuron development and differentiation had decreased expression in murine CNS-TB inflammatory and granuloma tissues. We also found an increased expression of genes involve in response to oxidative stress, apoptosis and programmed cell death in murine CNS-TB treated with ATT plus adjunctive MMP inhibitors.

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 GSE244086_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 PRJNA1021212 and SRA study SRP463276. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 59 samples.

How we read this: 17 replicated groups read from 69 sample titles; they account for 59 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.
