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
17 samples: 5 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with vehicle control at ZT0 vs 5 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with PT2399 at ZT0 vs 4 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with vehicle control at ZT12 vs 3 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with PT2399 at ZT12Groups 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.
Paper
BMAL1 and ARNT enable circadian HIF2α responses in clear cell renal cell carcinomaNature communications · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Circadian disruption enhances cancer risk, and many tumors exhibit disordered circadian gene expression. We show rhythmic gene expression is unexpectedly robust in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Furthermore, the clock gene BMAL1 is higher in ccRCC than in healthy kidneys, unlike in other tumor types. BMAL1 is closely related to ARNT and we show that BMAL1-HIF2α regulates a subset of HIF2α target genes in ccRCC cells.
Read the full summary ↓
Depletion of BMAL1 reprograms HIF2α chromatin association and target gene expression and reduces ccRCC growth in culture and in xenografts. Analysis of pre-existing data reveals higher BMAL1 in patient-derived xenografts that are sensitive to growth suppression by HIF2α antagonists. We show that increasing BMAL1 sensitizes ccRCC-derived A498 cells to growth inhibition by PT2399. Together, these findings indicate that an alternate HIF2α heterodimer containing the circadian partner BMAL1 contributes to HIF2α activity, growth, and sensitivity to HIF2α antagonist drugs in ccRCC cells.

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 GSE290779_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 PRJNA1230097 and SRA study SRP567049. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
5 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with vehicle control at ZT0 vs 5 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with PT2399 at ZT0 vs 4 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with vehicle control at ZT12 vs 3 × Xenograft harvested from mice treated with PT2399 at ZT12

Supports a between-group comparison across 17 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 17 sample titles; they account for 17 of them. 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.
