The effects of lovastatin on 6-OHDA-induced IL-6, IL- IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA expression in MICROGLIA cells. The cells were treated with the indicated doses of lovastatin and 6-OHDA. After incubation for 24 h, the mRNA levels of IL-6, IL- IL-1β and TNF-α were determined by RT-PCR. The data are presented as the mean ± S.E.M. (n=5 wells for each condition) for three independent experiments (*P<0.001 vs. solvent controls; #P<0.001 vs. 6-OHDA).
