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)
Samples
38 samples: 38 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.

A pancreas-hippocampus feedback mechanism regulates circadian changes in depression-related behaviorsNature neuroscience · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Individuals with neuropsychiatric disorders often show metabolic symptoms. However, the mechanisms underlying this co-occurrence remain unclear. Here, we show that iPSC-derived pancreatic islets from individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) have insulin secretion deficits caused by increased expression of RORβ, a susceptibility gene for BD.

Enhancing RORβ expression in mouse pancreatic β-cells induced depression-related behaviors in the light phase and mania-like behaviors in the dark phase. Pancreatic RORβ overexpression in the light phase reduced insulin release from islets, inducing hippocampal hyperactivity and depression-like behaviors. Further, this hippocampal hyperactivity in the light phase had the delayed effect of promoting insulin release in the dark phase, resulting mania-like behaviors and hippocampal neuronal hypoactivity. Our results in mice point to a pancreas–hippocampus feedback mechanism by which metabolic and circadian factors cooperate to generate behavioral fluctuations and which may play a role in bipolar disorder.

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 GSE283118_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 PRJNA1192191 and SRA study SRP548420. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

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

Supports a case/control comparison: 24 samples read as cases, 14 as controls.

How we read this: Read from 38 sample titles: 38 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.
