Paper
Interleukin-12 induces rapid STAT4/DDX5-dependent remodeling of RNA polymerase II occupancy in NK cellsThe Journal of experimental medicine · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that respond to inflammatory cytokines produced during infection by mounting a rapid response. However, the mechanisms that allow NK cells to launch such a swift response upon inflammation remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigate whether RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) may regulate this rapid responsiveness of NK cells.
Read the full summary ↓
Exposure of NK cells to the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-12 (IL-12) results in a highly dynamic Pol II genomic landscape mediated by the transcription factor STAT4, especially at the interferon-gamma (Ifng) locus. We identify a STAT4 interacting partner, the RNA helicase DDX5, that was required for optimal IFN-γ production by modulating Pol II occupancy following IL-12 stimulation. Thus, our findings highlight STAT4/DDX5-mediated regulation of Pol II binding as a critical mechanism driving the rapid responsiveness of NK cells to proinflammatory cytokines.

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 GSE294917_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.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1252039 and SRA study SRP579412. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 31 samples.

How we read this: 13 replicated groups read from 33 sample titles; they account for 31 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.
