Summary (written by the submitters)
Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is an immunoregulatory cytokine, but its role in B-cell haematopoiesis and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) within the bone marrow (BM) niche remains unclear. IL-27 was delivered in vivo using adeno-associated virus. B-cell reconstitution, mixed BM chimeras, and an N-myc-driven B-ALL model were analysed by flow cytometry, transcriptional profiling, and survival studies.

Group comparisons were assessed using Student’s t-test, and survival was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank tests. Sustained IL-27 expression selectively impaired B-cell reconstitution while preserving overall haematopoietic recovery, with marked reductions in common lymphoid progenitors and early B-cell subsets. IL-27 directly inhibited early B-lineage differentiation and concurrently remodelled the BM microenvironment by downregulating VCAM-1, ICAM-2, CXCL12, and IGF-1. These niche alterations were associated with reduced BM-resident B-ALL burden, enhanced chemotherapy efficacy, and improved survival in B-ALL-bearing mice. IL-27 showed no direct cytotoxicity toward B-ALL cells, supporting an indirect, niche-mediated mechanism. IL-27 constrains B-cell haematopoiesis and B-ALL progression through coordinated progenitor inhibition and BM niche remodelling, revealing a cytokine-driven strategy with the potential to enhance leukaemia therapy.

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 GSE320585_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.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

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 PRJNA1428861 and SRA study SRP679622. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
