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
Homo sapiens (human)
Topic
GlioblastomaThis series is part of our curated briefing on it.
Samples
20 samples: 20 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groupsGroups 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)
Glioblastoma is immunologically “cold” and resistant to single-agent immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Our previous study of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in surgically-accessible recurrent glioblastoma identified a molecular signature of response to ICI and suggested that neoadjuvant pembrolizumab may improve survival. To increase the power of this observation, we performed bulk-RNA seq on resected tumor tissue in an additional 25 patients with surgically-accessible recurrent glioblastoma.
Read the full summary ↓
Neoadjuvant pembrolizumab was associated with suppression of cell cycle/cancer proliferation genes and upregulation of T-cell/interferon-related gene expression. This signature was unique to patients treated with neoadjuvant pembrolizumab and was an independent risk factor for survival. Our results demonstrate a clear pharmacodynamic effect of anti-PD1 therapy in glioblastoma and identify pathways that may mediate resistance. However, we did not confirm a survival benefit to neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in recurrent glioblastoma. Our new data suggests some patients may exhibit innate resistance to pre-surgical ICI and require other concomitant therapies to sensitize effectively.

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 GSE264695_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 PRJNA1103815 and SRA study SRP503636. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
20 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 20 sample titles: 20 distinct titles with little repetition. 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.
