Ginsenoside Re is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, which decreases the β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) mRNA and protein levels and inhibits BACE1 activity in the N2a/APP695 cells. Ginsenoside Re also significantly increases the PPARγ protein and mRNA levels.To prevent Ginsenoside Re from having a cytotoxic effect on the N2a/APP695 cells, the cell viability is first determined by the MTT assay. The N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells are treated with increasing concentrations of Ginsenoside Re (0-200 μM) for 24 h. Ginsenoside Re concentrations under 100 μM do not affect the viability of the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells, whereas the 150 μM Ginsenoside Re concentration markedly decreases the survival rate of the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells. Incubation with Ginsenoside Re at a 200 μM concentration for 24 h reduces the viability of the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells by 15.58% and 26.82%, respectively. These data indicate that Ginsenoside Re treatment within the range of 0-100 μM for 24 h is safe for the N2a/WT and N2a/APP695 cells (P>0.05)[1].

Protocol
To explore the cytotoxic effect of Ginsenoside Re on N2a/APP695 cells, cell proliferation is assessed using the MTT assay. The cells are treated with increasing doses of Ginsenoside Re (0, 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) for 24 h. The MTT assay is performed after the treatments. The cells are incubated for 4 h at 37 °C with 0.5 mg/mL of MTT dissolved in fresh complete medium. The dark blue formazan crystals are dissolved in DMSO, and the absorbance is measured on a microplate reader using a reference wavelength of 630 nm and a test wavelength of 490 nm. The data are expressed as the mean percentages of viable cells versus the control[1].

Mice[3]
To examine the prophylactic effect of Rg1 and Ginsenoside Re on LPS-induced lethality, 6- to 8-week-old BALB/c mice are randomly assigned to 7 groups with 10 mice in each group. The mice are either left untreated or subcutaneously injected with 2.5, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg Rg1, 20 mg/kg Ginsenoside Re, or 5 mg/kg TAK-242 3 times at 30-min intervals and then challenged with LPS (20 mg/kg) 15 min later. To test the therapeutic effect of Rg1 and Ginsenoside Re on LPS-induced lethality, BALB/c mice are assigned to 5 groups with 10 mice in each group. The mice are injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with 20 mg/kg LPS. Fifteen minutes later, mice are subcutaneously injected with 10 mg/kg Rg1, 20 mg/kg Ginsenoside Re, or 5 mg/kg TAK-242 3 times at 30-min intervals or left untreated. Survival rates are recorded for 60 h.
Rats[3]
Sprague Dawley rats are intravenously administered saline solution, 1 mg of Rg1/kg body weight (1 mg/kg Rg1), 1 mg/kg Ginsenoside Re, or 1 mg/kg TAK-242. Fifteen minutes later, rats are challenged with 2.5 μg/kg LPS. Body temperature is measured before and after drug administration. Anticoagulated blood samples with EDTA are collected for white blood cell (WBC) counts at indicated time points using a ProCyte Dx automatic blood cell analyzer. Additional blood samples are collected at 4 h post-drug injection and used for preparation of serum to analyze proinflammatory mediators. The proinflammatory cytokine responses are detected by Western blot assay.
