A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-361-5p was more abundant in circulating T cells during the injury stage compared to the recovery stage in major trauma patients according to next-generation sequencing, though it was not significantly upregulated in subsequent RT-qPCR validation [Rau et al. DOI:10.2147/JIR.S375881]. A study in humans demonstrated that the miR-361-5p was significantly upregulated in the serum of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) compared to healthy controls [Mo et al. DOI:10.2147/NSS.S382765].
