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

Figure 3

Effect of the mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium (mitoKATP) channel opening on the proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) in the asthma rat model. The proliferation of ASMCs in the different groups was measured by the MTT assay. 5-HD, 5-hydroxydecanoate.
