Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, which are characterized byloss of memory and recognition ability and movement dysfunction13. Its pathological features are extracellularsenile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles14. There are two main hypotheses to explain the pathologicalmechanism of AD: the beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) cascade hypothesis and the tau protein hypothesis15,16.Moreover, numerous studies have indicated that an abnormal metabolism of Aβ and its toxic aggregation can leadto the symptoms of AD17. β-secretase (BACE1) has been discovered to initiate the cleavage of amyloid precursorprotein (APP) at the β-secretase site. Only after this cleavage does γ-secretase further cleave the BACE1-cleavedC-terminal APP fragment to release Aβ18–20. Thus, several chemicals have been found that can restrain the expressionof BACE1 and its cleavage activity to reduce the accumulation of Aβ, which has been thought be useful forrelieving AD21,22. N2a/APP695 cells (N2a cells stably transfected with the human APP gene) are widely used invitro model of Aβ production by amyloidogenesis pathway23. These cells can produce more APP, which is subsequentlycleaved into Aβ, similar to the AD pathology.
