Fibroblast Activation Protein Is Expressed by Altered Osteoprogenitors and Associated to Disease Burden in Fibrous DysplasiaCells · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a mosaic skeletal disorder caused by somatic activating variants in GNAS, encoding for Gαs, which leads to excessive cAMP signaling in bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Despite advancements in our understanding of FD pathophysiology, the effect of Gαs activation in the BMSC transcriptome remains unclear, as well as how this translates into their local influence in the lesional microenvironment.
Read the full summary ↓
In this study, we analyzed changes induced by Gαs activation in BMSC transcriptome and performed a comprehensive analysis of their production of cytokines and other secreted factors. We performed RNAseq of cultured BMSCs from patients with FD and healthy volunteers, and from an inducible mouse model of FD, and combined their transcriptomic profiles to build a robust FD BMSC genetic signature. Pathways related to Gαs activation, cytokine signaling, and extracellular matrix deposition were identified. In addition, a comprehensive profile of their secreted cytokines and other factors was performed to identify modulation of several key factors we hypothesized to be involved in FD pathogenesis. We also screened circulating cytokines in a collection of plasma samples from patients with FD, finding positive correlations of several cytokines to their disease burden score, as well as to one another and bone turnover markers. Overall, these data support a pro-inflammatory, pro-osteoclastic behavior of BMSCs bearing hyperactive Gαs variants, and point to several cytokines and other secreted factors as possible therapeutic targets and/or circulating biomarkers for FD.

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 GSE261358_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 PRJNA1086554 and SRA study SRP494619. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
6 × Healthy dono vs 6 × Fibrous dysplasia

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 2 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.
