Figure 6. Effects of Cyanidin on the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor and cell viability of retinal pigment epithelial cells. Cyanidin decreases the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (A) without a significant reduction in the cell viability (B). The level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A165) in the cultured media (measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and the cell viability (measured with Trypan Blue exclusion) were determined by using the same cultures. The cells were stimulated with cyanidin for 6 h. The concentrations of cyanidin (in µM) are given in the bars. Data are means±standard error of the mean (SEM) of five to seven independent experiments using cells from different donors. Significant difference vs. control: *p<0.05.
