The mRNA expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and MMP-9 in rabbit cornea (A), conjunctiva (B), and lacrimal gland (C) on day 14. In the cornea, the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, and MMP-9 were more significantly increased in the dry group than in the control group (**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05, *P < 0.05; n = 5 [10 eyes] per group). In the conjunctiva, the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the dry group were remarkably higher than in the control group (*P < 0.05, *P < 0.05; n = 5 [10 eyes] per group). In the lacrimal gland, the TNF-α levels in the dry group were statistically greater than in the control group (*P < 0.05, n = 5 [10 eyes] per group). Data are shown as mean ± SD (error bars). All data represent the relative fold change in the mRNA expression levels.
