MMP16 and asthma: Moreover, Lou and coworkers demonstrated that the levels of miR-192-5p are decreased in asthmatic mice, and the overexpression of miR-192-5p alleviates airway remodeling and autophagy in asthma by targeting matrix metalloproteinase-16 (MMP-16) and autophagy-related 7 (ATG7) in vitro and in vivo (Lou et al., 2020).
