Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Estrogen deficiency due to menopause is one of the most serious risks for osteoporosis development. We previously identified that HIF1α expressed in osteoclasts was a target for postmenopausal osteoporosis therapy. In the current study, we clarified that Raloxifene, Bazedoxifene, Tamoxifen and ED71, all of which are currently used for postmenopausal osteoporosis therapy, had HIF1α inhibiting activity in osteoclasts. We also demonstrated that HIF1α was expressed in osteoclasts under an androgen deficient condition in male osteoporosis model mice. We showed that decreased bone mineral density in androgen deficient male osteoporosis model mice was clearly blocked by administrating either Raloxifene, Bazedoxifene, Tamoxifen or ED71.
