A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-6515-5p was upregulated (6.09 fold) in postischemic left ventricular myocardial samples from patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass [Saddic et al. DOI:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00049.2015]. A review of thermal skin injury research listed the mir-6515-5p as dysregulated in epidermal stem cells from normal skin in thermal-induced injury, associating it with 32 KEGG pathways [Wang & Zhou DOI:10.1007/s00438-024-02183-w].
