Estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are "designer drugs" that exert estrogen-like actions in some cells but not in others. We examined the effects of the SERMs LY-117018 (an analog of raloxifene) and tamoxifen on mesangial cells synthesis of type I and type IV collagen. We found that LY-117018 and tamoxifen suppressed mesangial cell type IV collagen gene transcription and type IV collagen protein synthesis in a dose-dependent manner, with a potency identical to that of estradiol. Type I collagen synthesis was also suppressed by LY-117018 in a dose-dependent manner with a potency identical to that of estradiol but greater than that of tamoxifen. Genistein, which selectively binds to estrogen receptor-beta in nanomolar concentrations, suppressed type I and type IV collagen synthesis, suggesting that estrogen receptor-beta mediates the effects of estrogen on collagen synthesis. Because matrix accumulation is central to the development of glomerulosclerosis, second-generation SERMs may prove clinically useful in ameliorating progressive renal disease without the adverse effects of estrogen on reproductive tissues.
