Berberine inhibited the increased expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in cancer cells exposed to LPS. (a) The effect of berberine on the expression of TNF-α at 6 hours after LPS treatment. (b) The effect of berberine on the expression of IL-6 at 6 hours after LPS treatment. Data was expressed as mean ± SEM. ∗p < 0.05 compared to control; #p < 0.05 compared to LPS (n = 7). BBA: berberine (25 μmol/L).
