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
14 samples: 4 × NK_IL15C_WT vs 4 × NK_IL15C_N vs 3 × NK_UN_WT vs 3 × NK_UN_NGroups 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)
Natural killer (NK) cell development and functionality rely on precise regulation by specific transcription factors (TFs). Our study demonstrates that the nuclear orphan receptor NR2F6 represses the expression of the activating receptor NKp46, an established key player in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity during infection and tumor rejection.

Despite normal NK cell development in the bone marrow, germline Nr2f6-deficient mice exhibit impaired terminal maturation of NK cells in the periphery. Short-term NK cell responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) activation, independent of NKp46, are subsequently reduced in Nr2f6-deficient mice. Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) and macrophage populations are decreased in spleens of Nr2f6-deficient mice, subsequently, IL-15-dependent NK cell priming is limited. Administration of exogenous IL-15 in vitro and as IL-15 complex in vivo can compensate for these deficits, promoting terminal maturation of NK cells in Nr2f6-deficient mice. Subsequent transcriptome analysis reveals significant changes in gene expression profiles of NK cells from IL-15 complex treated Nr2f6-deficient mice, with notable alterations in essential NK genes such as Klrg1, Prdm1, Stat5a, Zeb2, and Prf1. Consequently, Nr2f6-deficient IL-15 complex treated NK cells raise enhanced effector responses of IFNγ, Perforin, and Granzyme B upon ex vivo activation. Of importance, Nr2f6-deficient mice are protected against MHC-I negative B16-F10 melanoma lung metastasis formation, especially with IL-15 complex treatment, indicating the potential of NR2F6 to affect NKp46-dependent NK cell-mediated tumor surveillance. The therapeutic targeting of NR2F6 may be a promising strategy for boosting NKp46-dependent NK-cell-mediated tumor surveillance and metastasis.

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 GSE263734_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 PRJNA1099132 and SRA study SRP501142. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
4 × NK_IL15C_WT vs 4 × NK_IL15C_N vs 3 × NK_UN_WT vs 3 × NK_UN_N

Supports a between-group comparison across 14 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 14 sample titles; they account for 14 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.
