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
16 samples: 5 × AT2_RFP_wt_bleo vs 5 × AT2_RFP_u30_bleo vs 3 × AT2_RFP_wt_saline vs 3 × AT2_RFP_u30_salineGroups 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)
Alveolar Type II cells (AT2s) are the stem cells in the alveoli, responsible for both alveolar homeostasis and regeneration. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported in the AT2 cells from both chronic and acute injury induced alveolar diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and viral pneumonia. Here, we demonstrate that genetic depletion of Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 30 (USP30), a negative regulator of mitophagy, boosts mitophagy and restores mitochondrial function, leading to protection from injury induced AT2 apoptosis and increased AT2 stem cell activity.

Both global Usp30 knockout (KO) and AT2-specific Usp30 KO protects the mice from bleomycin induced lung fibrosis and influenza puneumonia. Moreover, pharmaceutical inhibition of USP30 using a small molecule inhibitor effectively alleviates lung fibrosis and influenza pneumonia. Our study underscores a therapeutic potiential of USP30 inhibition for the treatment of injury induced alveolar diseases, offering a promising strategy for treating injury induced diseases

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 GSE317252_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 PRJNA1406628 and SRA study SRP665553. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
5 × AT2_RFP_wt_bleo vs 5 × AT2_RFP_u30_bleo vs 3 × AT2_RFP_wt_saline vs 3 × AT2_RFP_u30_saline

Supports a between-group comparison across 16 samples.

How we read this: 4 replicated groups read from 16 sample titles; they account for 16 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.
