Abstract

Bone regeneration is a highly dynamic and complex process that involves hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal cells, collagen fibers, non-collagenous proteins and biomolecules from extracellular matrices, and different cytokines and immune cells, as well as growth factors and hormones. Some phytochemicals due to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects can modulate the bone signaling pathways and improve bone healing and thus can be a good candidate for osteoregeneration. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of L. extract compared to ellagic acid on bone neoformation in rats. The animals with a 5 mm calvaria defect were divided into four groups (n = 10): group 1 was treated with ellagic acid 1% (EA), group 2 was treated with L. extract 10% (JR), group 3 was treated with a biphasic mix of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate (Ceraform), and group 4 was treated with vehicle inert gel with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). After 3 weeks of treatment, blood samples were collected for oxidative stress and inflammation assessment. Additionally, the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL) and hydroxyproline levels were quantified in blood. The skull samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy in order to detect the modifications in the four groups. The results suggested that JR extract had relevant anti-oxidant effect and bone protective activity and generated the accumulation of Ca and P, demonstrating the potential therapeutic abilities in bone regeneration.
