A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-24-2-5p was significantly decreased in the prefrontal cortex of depressed suicide subjects, with expression measured at 0.675 of control levels [Smalheiser et al. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0033201]. A study in rats demonstrated that burn-induced lung injury significantly altered the microRNA expression profile, with rno-miR-24-2-5p being upregulated by 3.48-fold at 24 hours post-injury [Zhang et al. DOI:10.5505/tjtes.2018.98123].
