ABSTRACT
Osteosarcoma is widely believed to be an osteogenic differentiation disorder. In recent years, to further understand this disease, a lot resources were poured into the potential link between differentiation defects and tumorigenesis. Long-term monitoring of the differentiation progress of osteosarcoma cells is of great importance. In order to better promote the research, we have developed a novel fluorescent probe called PTB-EDTA, which exhibits remarkable bio-compatibility and demonstrates high selectivity towards osteosarcoma cells. Not only is the PTB-EDTA is capable of live cell imaging while conventional histology requires to kill the cells, its fluorescence is also enhanced as the osteogenic differentiation proceeding. These properties make PTB-EDTA a promising tool for monitoring osteosarcoma cells.
