Summary (written by the submitters)
Background: Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in cardiovascular biology, influencing cardiac development, remodeling, and regeneration. Zeb2os, a natural antisense transcript (NATs) of the Zeb2 gene, has been linked to these processes in various organs. While ZEB2 promotes cardiac repair, the role of Zeb2os in these processes remains unclear.

This study investigates the role of Zeb2os in modulating ZEB2 expression and cardiac remodelling after ischemic injury. Methods: We used adeno-associated virus (AAV9) vectors to overexpress Zeb2os in mouse models of cardiac IR injury. RNA sequencing, immunofluorescence, and high-resolution respirometry were employed to evaluate the effects of Zeb2os delivery on gene expression, ZEB2 reactivation, cardiomyocyte phenotype, scar composition and mitochondrial function. Experiments in cultured cardiomyocytes under hypoxia further explored the regulatory dynamics between Zeb2os and Zeb2. Results: We identified Zeb2os as a hypoxia-responsive lncRNA that displays an inverse and oscillatory expression pattern with Zeb2 in both in vitro and in vivo models of cardiac injury. Functional experiments revealed that Zeb2os negatively regulates ZEB2 expression, impairing the cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and metabolic remodelling necessary for effective repair. AAV9-mediated delivery of Zeb2os resulted in preserved sarcomere structure, altered scar composition, reduced expression of regenerative genes, and diminished cardiac function following injury. In contrast, silencing of Zeb2os increased ZEB2 protein expression, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy to enhance repair. Mechanistically, modulation of Zeb2os levels inversely regulated ZEB2 protein expression, whereas ZEB2 modulation had no effect on Zeb2os levels, indicating a unidirectional regulatory axis between the two transcripts. Conclusions: Our findings identify Zeb2os as a stress-responsive inhibitor of ZEB2 reactivation that limits cardiomyocyte plasticity and hinders repair following ischemic injury. Given its specific activity under ischemic conditions, targeting os may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to enhance endogenous cardiac regeneration

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 GSE311093_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 PRJNA1368664 and SRA study SRP648320. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
13 samples, each with a distinct title — no replicated groups

Any grouping that defines a comparison lives in the sample characteristics, which GEO records separately from the titles.

How we read this: Read from 13 sample titles: 13 distinct titles with little repetition. 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.
