Abstract
The first small-molecule fluorescent turn-on probes for detecting PDEδ protein were rationally designed, showing reasonable fluorescent properties and the fluorescent ability has been applied for visualization of the PDEδ protein in living cells and at tissue levels. The qPCR results showed that the mRNA expression of KRAS, PDEδ, AKT1, MAPK1, MEK7, RAF1, and mTOR were downregulated by probes 1-3 through PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK signal pathways. The probes also can downregulate the protein level of pErk and tErk. Therefore, these small-molecule fluorescent probes are expected to be used in the screening of antipancreatic cancer drugs targeting the PDEδ protein, as well as in obtaining a better understanding of the pathological and physiological roles of PDEδ protein.
