Samples
40 samples: 30 × ALS vs 10 × CGroups 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
Th17 and effector CD8 T cells relate to disease progression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a case control studyJournal of neuroinflammation · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Importance: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis demonstrated changes in peripheral immune cells and proteins. However, the relationship between comprehensive immune profiles and clinical progression remained unclear. Objective: To identify the immune cells and proteins related to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis progression rate. Design: This case-control study enrolled healthy volunteers and patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis from March 29, 2021, to October 31, 2022.

Setting: Tokushima University Hospital and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited in Japan. Participants: This study screened 46 subjects to enroll 30 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis within 2 years from onset and 10 healthy volunteers. Patients with rapid and non-rapid amyotrophic lateral sclerosis were those with Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale decreases of ≥1.0/month and <1.0/month, respectively. Exposure(s): Peripheral blood samples were collected. Main Outcome(s) and Measure(s): The progression rate as assessed with the Revised Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale decrease/month and the immune cell and protein profiles via single-cell RNA sequencing and immunoproteomics. Results: Samples of 7 (mean [standard deviation] age: 69.8 [14.4] years; male, 3) and 23 (60.7 [10.8] years; male, 17) patients with rapid and non-rapid amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, respectively, and 10 healthy volunteers (63.6 [10.2] years; male, 7) were analyzed. The ratios of T helper 17/regulatory T cells, mature/naïve CD8 T cells, and mature/naïve natural killer cells were significantly higher in rapid than in non-rapid amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The ratio of T helper 17/regulatory T cells was significantly correlated with the progression rate. The immunoproteomics identified killer cell lectin-like receptor D1, trefoil factor 2, keratin 19, interleukin-17A, YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F3, and neutrophil cytosolic factor 2 as significantly elevated in rapid amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Cell type frequency and protein expression, such as T helper 17 cell–interleukin-17A and mature CD8 T cell–killer cell lectin-like receptor D1, were significantly correlated. Conclusions and Relevance: The progression rate was related to the increase of T helper 17 cells versus regulatory T cells and titers of T helper 17 cell- and CD8 T cell-related immunoproteins in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These results provide promising biomarkers and targets for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease-modifying therapies.

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 GSE244263_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: Single-cell studies usually ship their counts as 10x files (matrix.mtx, barcodes.tsv, features.tsv), an .h5 file, or an .rds / .h5ad object that Seurat or Scanpy can open. Look for those among the supplementary files.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1022022 and SRA study SRP463782. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
30 × ALS vs 10 × C

Supports a between-group comparison across 40 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 40 sample titles; they account for 40 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.
