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
15 samples: 5 × Subchondral bone from sham-operated wild-type C57BL/6 mouse, vs 5 × Subchondral bone from DMM-operated wild-type mouse (8 weeks post-surgery), vs 5 × Subchondral bone from DMM-operated Pvalb cKO mouse (8 weeks post-surgery),Groups 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)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability among the elderly, characterized by aberrant subchondral bone remodeling that precedes cartilage degeneration. We identify parvalbumin (Pvalb) in osteocytes as a critical mechanosensory regulator of this pathological process. Pvalb expression is significantly reduced in osteocytes from both OA patients and male murine models of the disease.
Read the full summary ↓
Conditional deletion of Pvalb in osteocytes accelerates OA progression, whereas bone-targeted restoration of Pvalb expression mitigates disease manifestations. Mechanistically, Pvalb maintains calcium homeostasis by competing with CaMKIV for calmodulin binding. Under excessive mechanical loading, Pvalb expression is suppressed, leading to activation of the Ca²+-CaMKIV-CREB signaling pathway, increased RANKL production, and subsequent osteoclast activation and pathological bone remodeling. These findings identifies an osteocyte-mediated mechanotransduction pathway in OA pathogenesis and underscore Pvalb as a promising therapeutic target.

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.

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE334726_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 PRJNA1476236 and SRA study SRP707792. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.

Supports a between-group comparison across 15 samples.

How we read this: 3 replicated groups read from 15 sample titles; they account for 15 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.
