Evaluation of the treatments on the expression of BACE by Western blot. (A) BER (1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM, and 20 μM) can significantly decrease the expression of BACE in a dose-dependent manner for 48 hours of incubation, *P < 0.05 compared with vehicle-treated group, #P < 0.01 compared with vehicle-treated group (n = 3). (B) BER (5 μM) can decrease the expression of BACE from 8 to 72 hours of incubation, *P < 0.05 compared with vehicle-treated group, #P < 0.01 compared with the vehicle-treated group (n = 3). (C) BER (5 μM) can decrease the expression of BACE for 48 hours of incubation, U0126 (0.5 μM), and BER with U0126 (5 μM +0.5 μM) can increase the expression of BACE for 48 hours of incubation, *P < 0.05 compared with vehicle-treated group (n = 3).
