A study in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells demonstrated that the miR-3180 was significantly downregulated at a 1 Gy radiation dose, identified as a potential biomarker for radiation response using microarray analysis with specific statistical thresholds [Lee et al. DOI:10.1155/2014/456323]. A review summarizing research on microRNAs as markers of ionizing radiation injury noted that the miR-3180 was down-regulated in human PBMCs at 1 Gy 24h after irradiation [Jia & Wang DOI:10.3389/fcell.2022.861451].
