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
12 samples: 3 × MiaPaCa2, siCtrl, vs 3 × MiaPaCa2, sip53, vs 3 × PANC1, siCtrl, vs 3 × PANC1, sip53,Groups 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.

Summary (written by the submitters)
In ~70% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, the TP53 gene acquires gain-of-function (GOF) mutations leading to rapid disease progression. Specifically, missense p53 (misp53) GOF mutations associate with therapy resistance and worse clinical outcomes. However, the molecular functions of distinct misp53 mutants in plasticity and therapy response remain unclear.

Integrating multi-center patients’ data and multi-omics, we report that the misp53R273H/C mutant is associated with cell-cycle progression and a basal-like state compared to the misp53R248W/Q mutant. Loss of misp53R273H/C decreased tumor growth and liver metastasis while prolonging survival in preclinical models. We found that misp53R273H/C specifically regulates the Rb/DREAM axis involved in cell cycle regulation. Notably, a clinical CDK4/6 inhibitor specifically reduced misp53R273H/C mutant expression. However, it triggered MAPK/ERK-mediated resistance mechanisms, enhancing cell survival and resistance to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Combining MAPK/ERK and CDK4/6 inhibitors reduced misp53R273H/C-associated oncogenic functions. Thus, distinct misp53 mutants show unique cell-intrinsic plasticity, therapeutic vulnerabilities, and resistance mechanisms.

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 GSE291033_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 PRJNA1231434 and SRA study SRP567949. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × MiaPaCa2, siCtrl, vs 3 × MiaPaCa2, sip53, vs 3 × PANC1, siCtrl, vs 3 × PANC1, sip53,

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 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.
