Mitochondrial ATP-Sensitive K+ Channel Opening Increased the Airway Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation by Activating the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway in a Rat Model of Asthma

<div>Identification of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) by morphological characteristics and immunohistochemical staining. (a) ASMCs displayed the characteristic “hill and valley” appearance (phase-contrast microscope, ×100). (b) Positive expression for <i>α</i>-actin in ASMCs (immunocytochemical staining, ×400).</div>
