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.
Paper
Transcriptomic Profiling Identifies a Distinct Molecular Signature in OSMF-Derived Oral Squamous Cell CarcinomaLife (Basel, Switzerland) · 2026
Summary (written by the submitters)
Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF) is a significant global oral health problem, particularly prevalent in India, with a high risk of progression to Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). This study investigates the molecular mechanisms involved in the transformation of OSMF to OSCC using transcriptomic profiling. Methods: High-throughput RNA sequencing was performed on fresh de novo OSCC samples (n=8), OSMF transforming to OSCC, and normal oral mucosa (n=5 each) using Illumina-compatible NEXTflex Rapid Directional RNA-Sequencing.

Results: Upregulated genes were associated with cytokine and immune responses (ABRA, TTTY14, EIF1AY), cellular proliferation and apoptosis (LINC00314, RPS4Y1, SERPINA5, TRIM63, FABP7), and energy metabolism, indicating metabolic adaptations during malignant progression. Pathway analysis showed increased expression of TNNT1, TNNI1, MYL4, and ACTN3, implicating muscle development and embryonic pathways in OSMF transformation. Conversely, genes related to epithelial differentiation and keratinization (FLG, FLG2, HRNR, TCHH, KRT73), immune regulation and tumor suppression (HLA-G, UNC5D), and metabolic signaling were downregulated, reflecting loss of tissue integrity and immune control. Conclusion: The observed gene dysregulation highlights impaired epithelial barrier function, altered immune responses, and enhanced metastatic potential, contributing to carcinogenesis and poor prognosis in OSMF-associated OSCC.

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 GSE319719_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 PRJNA1425000 and SRA study SRP677787. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
8 × OSCC_denovo_Sample vs 5 × OSMF_OSCC_Sample

Supports a between-group comparison across 13 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 13 sample titles; they account for 13 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.
