A study in humans demonstrated that the mir-335 is significantly upregulated in plasma from patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) at emergency room admission compared to healthy controls, as validated by droplet digital PCR [Hörauf et al. DOI:10.3390/ijms262210954]. In a separate human postmortem study, the mir-335 was found to be significantly decreased in the prefrontal cortex of depressed suicide subjects compared to non-psychiatric controls, with its validated targets including SOX4, PTPRN2, and MERTK [Smalheiser et al. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0033201]. A study in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) demonstrated that the mir-335 was identified as a common radiation response marker, being one of the ten most statistically significant miRNAs among the 76 common to both genders and both doses at any time point following whole thorax irradiation [May et al. DOI:10.1038/s41598-022-16316-x]. In a separate study using Sprague-Dawley rats, the mir-335 was found to work with miR-182 and miR-484 to decrease the neu2 gene in response to hindlimb unloading [Song et al. DOI:10.1097/BCR.0000000000000444].
