Summary (written by the submitters)
Aim: The aim of this study is to explore the impact of Pien Tze Huang (PZH) on enhancing T cell cytotoxicity by modulating colorectal cancer stem cell (CRC-CSC) markers, programmed death protein ligand-1 (PD-L1), and the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) protein expression in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro.

Methods: HCT116, HCT15, and SW480 cell lines were subjected to treatment with PZH, followed by assessment of cell viability and stemness through CCK8 and spheroid formation assays. Western blot and immunofluorescence techniques were employed to evaluate the expression levels of stem cell markers (DCLK1, CD133, CD44, MET, and LGR5), PD-L1, and STAT3 across three CRC cell lines and five patient-derived organoids (PDOs). Flow cytometry and western blot analyses were utilized to validate T cell expansion from both donors and CRC patients. CRC cells and CRC-PDOs, pre-treated with PZH, were co-cultured with expanded T cells from both donor and autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) respectively. The viability of CRC cells and PDOs was evaluated through Calcein-AM staining to measure fluorescence intensity and cell count following co-culture. In the syngeneic MC38 C57BL/6 xenograft model, tumor growth curve and body weight were monitored subsequent to treatment with PZH, anti-PD-1, and PZH combined with anti-PD-1. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess protein levels of CD133, CD44, STAT3, PD-L1, CD8, and IL-6R in tumor tissue. Results: The effectiveness of PZH in reducing CRC cell viability and suppressing stemness markers, such as LGR5, CD44, MET, DCLK1, and CD133, is evident. PZH also displayed inhibitory effects on tumorigenesis in five CRC-PDOs, with varying sensitivity across cases (3 sensitive and 2 less sensitive). Moreover, PZH enhanced the cytotoxicity of donor T cells against CRC cells and rectified the cytotoxic deficiency or bolstered the cytotoxicity of autologous T cells against CRC-PDOs by downregulating PD-L1 and STAT3 protein expressi Conclusion: PZH enhances T cell-mediated killing effect by inhibiting CRC stem cell markers, PD-L1, and STAT3.

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 GSE265991_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 PRJNA1105101 and SRA study SRP504329. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
12 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 12 sample titles: 12 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.
