Paper
Purinergic exposure induces epigenomic and transcriptomic-mediated preconditioning resembling epilepsy-associated microglial statesiScience · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Microglia are the main immune effector cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and contribute to a wide spectrum of neuropathological conditions through exacerbated activation. Microglial inflammatory responses may be conditioned by prior exposures to noxious stimuli, such as increased levels of extracellular adenosine and ATP. These levels are characteristic of brain insults like epileptic seizures and could potentially determine subsequent responses through epigenetic regulation.

In this study, we investigated DNA methylation and expression changes in microglia-like cells differentiated from monocytes following ATP-mediated preconditioning. First, during microglia differentiation, we mainly observed DNA demethylation in genomic sequences enriched in binding motifs of microglia lineage transcription factors like PU.1, consistent with the relevance of this factor in in vivo microglia. TLR-mediated activation, after a first exposure to ATP, promoted exacerbated pro-inflammatory activation in comparison to cells not pre-exposed to ATP. These changes were accompanied by DNA methylation and transcriptional reprogramming of immune-related pathways, neurotransmitter activity and nucleotide phosphorylation. Finally, the epigenetic and transcriptional reprogramming associated with ATP-mediated preconditioning results in profiles found in microglia subsets linked to epilepsy. Purine-driven microglia immune pre-conditioning associates with epigenetic and transcriptional changes that might contribute to altered functions of microglia during seizure development and progression, particularly associated with neuroinflammation.

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 GSE272030_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 PRJNA1134737 and SRA study SRP519403. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
