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 × DMSO vs 3 × Cel vs 3 × Cel5 vs 3 × Cel6Groups 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)
This experiment is to explore the mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of celastrol derivatives on Rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RAFLS), compared with celastrol. Immortalized RAFLS cells were simulated with 1 ng/mL TNFα for 24h, and exposed to different treatments during the last 4 hours. Total RNA was extracted with Trizol.
Read the full summary ↓
Transcriptomic profiling was performed with an in-house, proprietary method that captures the 3’ primed end of mRNA molecules for sequencing. The data was processed with a custom script. Briefly, sequencing reads were demultiplexed based on sample barcode with idemux, trimmed with cutadapt to remove polyA, adaptor and low-quality sequences, mapped to human GRCh38 reference assembly with STAR aligner. PCR duplicates were removed based on UMI with UMI-tools. Htseq-count was used to generate read counts. The count matrix was analyzed with DESeq2 package to determine differential genes. Enrichment and GSEA was performed with clusterprofiler.

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 GSE300831_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 PRJNA1282169 and SRA study SRP594687. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × DMSO vs 3 × Cel vs 3 × Cel5 vs 3 × Cel6

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.
