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

Topic
Colorectal cancerThis series is part of our curated briefing on it.
Samples
12 samples: 3 × HCT116-IN vs 3 × HT29-NC vs 3 × HT29-INGroups 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)
Piwi-interacting RNA 37524 (piR-37524) is a novel oncogenic non-coding RNA overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC), associated with tumor progression, metastasis, and poor clinical outcomes. To elucidate the downstream transcriptional regulatory network of piR-37524, we performed RNA sequencing on two human CRC cell lines (HCT116 and HT29) transfected with a piR-37524-specific inhibitor or negative control (NC).

Total RNA was extracted 48 hours post-transfection, and libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed DEGs were significantly associated with TNF signaling pathway, TGF-beta signaling pathway, and microRNAs in cancer which are key pathways involved in CRC cell proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Intersection analysis of upregulated DEGs across both cell lines identified TNFAIP3 as a potential direct target of piR-37524. This transcriptomic dataset provides comprehensive insights into the gene regulatory network mediated by piR-37524 in CRC cells, supporting its role as a therapeutic target via the TNFAIP3/NF-κB/EMT axis. The data will facilitate further exploration of piRNA-driven oncogenic mechanisms in CRC and the development of novel diagnostic or therapeutic strategies.

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 GSE310036_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 PRJNA1365034 and SRA study SRP644928. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
3 × HCT116-IN vs 3 × HT29-NC vs 3 × HT29-IN

Supports a between-group comparison across 9 samples.

How we read this: 3 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 9 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.
