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
12 samples: 3 × OB none vs 3 × OB TNFa_p65 vs 3 × OB BMP4 vs 3 × OB TNFa+BMP4Groups 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)
Inflammation-induced osteoblast death undermines bone homeostasis and can aggravate bone-destructive diseases, yet how pro-survival BMP signaling intersects with inflammatory TNF–NF-κB signaling remains poorly defined. Here we show that BMP4 protects mouse osteoblasts from TNF-α–triggered apoptosis and cytotoxic death and that this cytoprotection requires both Smad4 and NF-κB p65.

Integrative epigenomic profiling (ChIP-seq/ATAC-seq/RNA-seq) reveals extensive Smad4–p65 co-occupancy and identifies Samd9l as a prominent TNF-α–inducible gene that is selectively repressed by BMP4. Two Smad4/p65-bound distal elements physically contact the Samd9l promoter, exhibit TNF-responsive enhancer activity, and are required for Samd9l induction, as demonstrated by 4C-seq and CRISPR/dCas9-based chromatin closing/opening. Functionally, Samd9l depletion attenuates TNF-α–driven caspase activation and cytotoxicity in osteoblasts and enhances BMP2-driven ectopic bone formation in vivo. Cross-species mapping suggests that the two mouse regulatory elements converge into a single promoter-proximal composite element at the human SAMD9L locus, supporting a conserved inflammatory control node. Together, these findings define a BMP4–Smad4 mechanism that reshapes NF-κB enhancer outputs to limit osteoblast death and nominate the SAMD9L regulatory circuit as a therapeutic entry point for inflammatory bone loss.

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.

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 PRJNA1394961 and SRA study SRP658525. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 12 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 12 sample titles; they account for 12 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.
