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
Mus musculus (mouse)
Samples
28 samples: 9 × CLP_IgG vs 9 × CLP_aDBI vs 5 × Sham_IgG vs 5 × Sham_aDBIGroups 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.

Acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP): a poor-prognosis biomarker in sepsis and a target for disease mitigationSignal transduction and targeted therapy · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Septic shock remains a major clinical challenge, with high mortality and long-term disability despite current interventions. Here, we identify the tissue hormone acyl-CoA–binding protein (ACBP), also known as diazepam-binding inhibitor (DBI), as a biomarker and driver of poor outcomes in sepsis. ACBP/DBI was elevated in the plasma of septic patients, correlating with organ dysfunction and mortality.
Read the full summary ↓
In murine models of endotoxemia, Escherichia coli infection, and polymicrobial sepsis, genetic deletion or antibody-mediated neutralization of ACBP/DBI conferred robust protection by enhancing pathogen clearance, dampening cytokine storms, and preserving organ function. Notably, ACBP/DBI inhibition could be favorably combined with glucocorticoids, enhancing survival and reversing transcriptional and metabolic signatures of septic shock across spleen, liver, heart, and kidney. These findings position ACBP/DBI as a mechanistic amplifier of sepsis pathophysiology and propose its neutralization—alone or combined with corticosteroids—as a promising therapeutic strategy to interrupt the fatal trajectory of septic shock.

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 GSE304860_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 PRJNA1303082 and SRA study SRP607356. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 28 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 28 sample titles; they account for 28 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.
