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)

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)
We aimed to gain a comprehensive understanding of transcriptional profiles of circulating Th1, Th1/17, and Th17 cells in endometriosis patients (n=10) as compared to healthy controls (n=12). Briefly, fresh peripheral blood was collected from subjects, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated using density centrifugation and then cryopreserved until later bulk analysis.

PBMCs were later thawed, CD4+ T cells were magnetically isolated (#17952, StemCell Technologies, Canada) and stimulated with 30ng/mL of PMA and 1ug/mL of Ionomycin and incubated for 4hrs. Cells were then stained for FACS and sorted into viable populations of Th17 (CD3+CD4+IFNg-IL-17+), Th1/17 (CD3+CD4+IFNg+IL-17+), and Th1 (CD3+CD4+IFNg+IL-17-) cells using BD FACSAria™ III. RNA was then isolated from Th1, Th1/17, and Th17 cell populations from patients and controls using a commercially available kit (#74004, Qiagen, Canada). Samples were then quality checked and sent for bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq) at McGill Genome Centre (MGC, Canada) using Illumina NovaSeq X Plus 10B (Illumina, USA) and subsequent bioinformatic analyses, as per standard pipelines. Briefly, analyses included principal component analysis (PCA), unsupervised and supervised clustering, heatmap generation, differential expression analysis (DEG), volcano plots, fold-change distribution, and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses. RNA sequencing revealed extensive Th subset reprogramming in endometriosis, most predominately in Th17 cells (2,220 DEGs). Collectively, our findings reveal significant immune remodeling in endometriosis and highlight a distinct, aberrant Th17 cell phenotype, contributing to endometriosis pathophysiology. Ultimately, this work supports the repurposing of IL-23- and IL-17-targeted therapeutics to provide novel options for endometriosis patients, as these therapeutics have been successfully used in other chronic inflammatory diseases and may also target endometriosis-associated comorbidities.

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 GSE313775_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 PRJNA1381579 and SRA study SRP655283. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 66 samples.

How we read this: 6 replicated groups read from 66 sample titles; they account for 66 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.
