Chloroquine (CQ) promotes cells detachment and affects CD99. a Microscopy pictures of CQ-induced changes in cell culture: morphological transformation and detachment of cells. MSCs were cultured in starvation medium for 3 days. After the first 48 hours in culture, CQ (75 μM and 150 μM) was added for the next 24 hours. b Western blot of extracts from CQ-treated control (normoxic) and starved MSCs. Representative data of three independent experiments are shown
