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.
Paper
Brd4 expression in CD4 T cells and in microglia promotes neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitisJournal of neuroinflammation · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
In EAE, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, immunization with MOG autoantigen results in the generation of Th1/Th17 T cells in the periphery. MOG antigen-specific T cells then invade into the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in neuronal demyelination. Microglia, specialized innate immune cells in the CNS, have been suggested to participate in the pathogenesis of EAE.

Bromodomain inhibitors have been reported to reduce EAE pathology by inhibiting T cells. However, the contribution of BRD4 in EAE pathology is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that microglia-specific Brd4 conditional knockout (cKO) mice, displayed markedly reduced EAE pathology. Brd4cKO microglia failed to express inflammation and activation-related genes and had reduced CNS T cell invasion. Moreover, Brd4cKO microglia: invading T cell interactions were markedly reduced, suggesting that Brd4-dependent microglial genes may play important roles in facilitating T cell restimulation within the CNS. In summary, our results demonstrate a model in which microglial BRD4 plays a key role in supporting neuroinflammation in EAE.

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 GSE275400_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 PRJNA1150604 and SRA study SRP527915. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
