Summary (written by the submitters)
In the adult murine brain, neural stem cells (NSCs) reside in two main niches, the dentate gyrus (DG), and the subventricular zone (SVZ). In the DG, NSCs give rise to intermediate progenitors that differentiate into excitatory neurons, while progenitors in the SVZ migrate to the olfactory bulb (OB) where they mainly differentiate into inhibitory interneurons.

Neurogenesis, the production of new neurons, persists throughout life but decrease dramatically during aging, concomitantly with increased inflammation. Many cell types, including microglia, undergo dramatic transcriptional changes but few such changes have been detected in neural progenitors. Furthermore, transcriptional profiles in progenitors from different neurogenic regions have not been compared at single cell level, and little is known about how they are affected by age-related inflammation. We have generated a single cell RNA sequencing dataset enriched for intermediate progenitors, which revealed that most aged neural progenitors only acquire minor transcriptional changes. However, progenitors set to become excitatory neurons decrease faster than others. In addition, a population in the aged SVZ, not detected in the OB, acquired major transcriptional activation related to immune responses. This suggests that differences in age related neurogenic decline between regions is not due to tissue differences but rather cell type specific intrinsic transcriptional programs, and that subset of neuroblasts in the SVZ react strongly to age related inflammatory cues.

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 GSE261457_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 PRJNA1086995 and SRA study SRP494879. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
