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.
