Changes in MCP-1 mRNA and IL-8 mRNA expression after stimulation with LPS in ARPE-19 cells in serum-free media were preincubated for 30 min with berberine (25 μM) or 0.05% DMSO. After LPS (1 μg/ml) had been added to the medium, ARPE-19 cells were incubated for 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 h. The changes in mRNA were determined using real-time PCR. Changes in MCP-1 mRNA (a) and IL-8 mRNA (b) after stimulation with LPS are shown. The data are expressed as means ± standard errors of four independent experiments. *P < 0.01, compared to the value without berberine
