To study the inhibition of beta-amyloid precursor protein(beta-APP) gene expression by Haifengteng.
Northern Blot analysis was used to investigate the level of beta-APP mRNA, and cell viability, LDH-release and colony formation assay were used to study the effect of Hairengteng of neurons.
Haifengteng inhibited the expression of beta-APP gene selectively without causing cell injuries.
beta-APP is closely related to Alzheimer's disease. The findings in this study could be a basis for Haifengteng to have therapeutic potentials in treating Alzheimer's disease.
研究海风藤对β-淀粉样前体蛋白(β-APP)基因表达的抑制作用。
采用Northern印迹分析检测β-APP mRNA水平,通过细胞活力、乳酸脱氢酶释放及集落形成试验研究海风藤对神经元的影响。
海风藤选择性抑制β-APP基因表达,且不引起细胞损伤。
β-APP与阿尔茨海默病密切相关。本研究结果可为海风藤治疗阿尔茨海默病的潜在治疗作用提供依据。
