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
12 samples: 6 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)
Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs) sustain regulatory T (Treg) cell identity through transcriptional silencing, yet their role in modulating Treg functional plasticity during immune adaptation remains unclear. Here, we identify KDM2B, a defining component of non-canonical PRC1.1, as a critical regulator for sustaining the proportion and immunosuppressive functions of active Treg (aTreg) cells without altering Treg abundance or identity.

Mechanistically, PRC1.1 deposits H2AK119 monoubiquitylation (H2AK119ub1) at active promoters, surprisingly licensing aTreg transcriptional programs beyond its repressive role. Disruption of PRC1.1 via Kdm2b ablation or pharmacological inhibition with iBP, a novel selective inhibitor, reduces H2AK119ub1, blunts stimulus-dependent transcriptional activation and suppresses Treg activation. Notably, Treg-specific Kdm2b deletion in melanoma-bearing mice enhances anti-tumor immunity and synergizes with anti-PD-L1 therapy. Therefore, our study redefines H2AK119ub1 as a dual-function epigenetic mark and PRC1.1 as a molecular rheostat fine-tuning Treg adaptability, establishing PRC1.1 as a therapeutic target to decouple immune suppression in cancer while preserving Treg homeostasis.

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 GSE249979_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 PRJNA1051551 and SRA study SRP477554. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 conditions, mostly in duplicate
WT Treg, ×2 cKO Treg, ×2 WT Treg, in vitro, unstimulated, ×2 WT Treg, in vitro, stimulated, ×2 cKO Treg, in vitro, unstimulated, ×2 cKO Treg, in vitro, stimulated, ×2

Supports a case/control comparison: 2 samples read as cases, 2 as controls.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 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.
