Chloroquine increases osteoclast activity in vitro but does not improve the osteopetrotic bone phenotype of ADO2 mice.

Abstract excerpt

Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis type II (ADO2) is a bone disease of impaired osteoclastic bone resorption that usually results from heterozygous missense mutations in the chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) gene. We created mouse models of ADO2 by introducing a knock-in (p.G213R) mutation in the Clcn7 gene, which is analogous to one of the common mutations (G215R) found in humans. The mutation leads to severe...
