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.

Endothelial RNF20 suppresses endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition and safeguards physiological angiocrine signaling to prevent congenital heart diseaseNature communications · 2025
Summary (written by the submitters)
Heart development and function rely on intricate communication among distinct cardiac cell types. How their co-development and crosstalk are coordinated is largely unexplored. Our study unveils novel functions of the histone H2B ubiquitin (H2Bub1) ligase RNF20 in second heart field development and cardiac endothelial cells, essential for proper cardiac morphogenesis and function.

We demonstrate that RNF20-H2Bub1-dependent reduction in Nrg1 expression, coupled with heightened TGF-β signaling due to RNF20's role in inducing RNA polymerase II pausing at TGF-β targets, drives increased endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), abnormal cardiomyocyte proliferation, and irregular contractility upon endothelial RNF20 loss. Importantly, RNF20 expression is significantly reduced in cardiac endothelial cells from congenital heart disease patients showing a positive correlation with oxygen saturation and a negative correlation with key components and downstream effectors of TGF-β signaling. In summary, our work identifies a novel role of RNF20 in controlling signaling inputs that safeguard physiological angiocrine signaling ensuring proper cardiac morphogenesis and function.

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 GSE305562_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 PRJNA1306528 and SRA study SRP609108. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
