To gain further insight in the underlying molecular mechanism of miR-193b-3p and -5p in the malignant processes of lung cancer, we searched for common targets of miR-193b-3p and -5p using the TargetScan prediction algorithm and found that four genes (i.e., CCND1, AJUBA, HEG1, and MMP16) are putative common targets of miR-193b-3p and -5p (Figure 3A). Here, MMP16 is linked to lung carcinoma.
