| Abstract | Raloxifene, a second-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator, exerts estrogen-like effects in specific tissues. In this present study, we examined the effect of raloxifene on mesangial cell matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Raloxifene increased the MMP-2 level in a dose-dependent and receptor-mediated manner. An antibody against estrogen receptor-β (ER-β) blocked the effect of raloxifene on MMP-2 expression, suggesting that the effect of raloxifene on MMP-2 activity was mediated by ER-β. In addition, the transcription factor AP-2, that plays an important role in MMP-2 gene transcription, was overexpressed under raloxifene simulation. The effect of MMP-2 was blocked by a selective inhibitor of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) pathway, PD98059. Our results suggested that raloxifene-induced MMP-2 activity increases function through ERK/MAPK signaling via AP-2. In addition, we also found that the effect of raloxifene on MMP-2 expression was mediated via its binding to ER-β. However, at this stage of our investigation, (i) we could only show that both the binding to ER-β and the activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway impacted MMP-2 expression and (ii) we were unable to establish a relationship between ER-β binding and ERK/MAPK pathway activation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
