ADAM33 Silencing Inhibits Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration and Regulates Cytokine Secretion in Airway Vascular Remodeling via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Pathway

Figure 1

Effect of ADAM33 silencing on the migration ability of HASMCs. HASMCs were transfected with a lentiviral vector carrying shRNA targeting ADAM33 (the LV-ADAM33 group) or a negative control vector (the LV-NC group). The control group remained untreated. A transwell migration assay was performed to evaluate the migration ability of HASMCs. (a) Representative microscopic images and (b) quantitative measurement of the number of migrated cells are shown; .
