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.

Hepatic hypertension on-a-chip identifies GPR116 as a hydrostatic pressure mechanosensor to regulate vascular injury in cirrhosisScience advances · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
The role of pathological vascular degeneration in cirrhosis remains poorly understood. In this study, we engineered multidimensional vascular models to replicate the pathological characteristics of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) at various fibrosis stages. Our investigation revealed that LSEC response to hydrostatic pressure is matrix stiffness-dependent, with LSECs survival when cultured on soft matrices, while those cultured on hard matrices experiencing cellular damage.

The biomimic vascular in vitro model enabled us to identify GPR116 as a crucial membrane receptor of LSECs to sense and respond to hydrostatic pressure. GPR116 is specifically expressed in liver endothelial cells, and silencing GPR116 effectively protected the endothelial cells from hydrostatic pressure-induced damage on hard matrix, consequently inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen remodeling. Thus, our findings highlight GPR116 as an indispensable pressure sensor in hepatic sinusoidal endothelium, playing a pivotal role in vascular remodeling during cirrhosis.

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 GSE244720_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 PRJNA1024447 and SRA study SRP464806. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
