A study in human trauma patients demonstrated that the mir-485 was significantly upregulated in circulating T cells during the injury stage compared to the recovery stage and was identified as a hub miRNA regulating a miRNA-mRNA interactome predominantly involved in the chemokine signaling pathway [Rau et al. DOI:10.2147/JIR.S375881]. A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-485 was upregulated in the plasma of coronary artery disease patients compared to controls and was identified as a potential biomarker for the condition [Zhong et al. DOI:10.1002/jcla.23020]. In mice, research on ionizing radiation-induced thymus injury identified the mir-485 as a down-regulated known miRNA in the exposed thymus [Chen et al. DOI:10.1080/09553002.2016.1207821].
