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.

Samples
8 samples: 4 × HSC_TGFB vs 4 × HSC_TGFB_ResGroups 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)
Resmetirom is a liver-directed, thyroid hormone receptor β (THRβ)-selective agonist approved for treating metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). While Resmetirom hepatocyte-specific effects are well-established, its impact on other hepatic cells, particularly hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), the main fibrogenic cells, remain unknown.

Using animal models, immortalized cell lines, and primary murine and human HSCs, we combined pharmacological treatments with genetic manipulation of THRα and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) to examine the effects of Resmetirom. Resmetirom ameliorates MASH through actions in both hepatocytes and HSCs. The overexpression of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 1B1(SLCO1β1) in both cell types increases the efficiency of Resmetirom. THRα expression is higher in HSCs than in hepatocytes in both human and murine cells. Resmetirom attenuates TGF-β1-induced HSC activation via THRα and increased FAAH expression and activity, while their inhibition prevents Resmetirom from reducing fibrotic marker expression and the elevated glycolytic activity typical of activated HSCs. These results uncover an unrecognized mechanism of action for Resmetirom, demonstrating that its antifibrotic efficacy extends beyond hepatocytes to include direct effects on HSCs via THRα and FAAH. These results may support the development of future therapeutic strategies aimed at THRα in HSC, in combination with existing approaches targeting hepatocyte THRβ.

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 GSE334408_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 PRJNA1474964 and SRA study SRP706898. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Study design
4 × HSC_TGFB vs 4 × HSC_TGFB_Res

Supports a between-group comparison across 8 samples.

How we read this: 2 replicated groups read from 8 sample titles; they account for 8 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.
