ABSTRACT

Objective:

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a challenging complication of chronic bisphosphonate (BP) use. The hormone relaxin is able to induce the multistep differentiation process of human osteoclastogenesis, exhibits antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory actions, and promotes vasodilatation, wound healing, and angiogenesis. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of relaxin in the prevention and management of BRONJ. Material and

Methods:

Thirty-six male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups. Rats in group 1 (n = 10) received relaxin and BP simultaneously for 12 weeks. Rats in group 2 (n = 10) received injections of BP for 12 weeks, followed by relaxin for another 12 weeks. Rats in group 3 (n = 10) received only BP injections, and those in group 4 (control, n = 6) received only saline. Necrosis and inflammation in the rats' mandibles were evaluated as indicators of BRONJ.

Results:

Necrosis and inflammation were not detected in group 1 (BP + relaxin). In group 3 (BP only), incidence rates of necrosis and inflammation were 90% and 60%, respectively.

Conclusions:

Our findings suggest that relaxin may be potently effective in preventing BRONJ and have some benefit in the treatment of existing BRONJ (AU)
RESUMO

Objetivo:

A osteonecrose da mandíbula relacionada ao bisfosfonato (BRONJ) é uma desafiadora complicação do uso crônico de bisfosfonato (BP). O hormônio relaxina é capaz de induzir o processo múltiplo de diferenciação da osteoclastogênese humana, exibe ações anti-fibróticas e anti-inflamatórias e promove vasodilatação, cicatrização de feridas e angiogênese. O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da relaxina na prevenção e tratamento do BRONJ. Material e

Métodos:

Trinta e seis ratos Sprague Dawley machos foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos. Os ratos do grupo 1 (n = 10) receberam relaxina e BP simultaneamente por 12 semanas. Os ratos do grupo 2 (n = 10) receberam injeções de BP por 12 semanas, seguidos de relaxina por mais 12 semanas. Os ratos do grupo 3 (n = 10) receberam apenas injeções de BP e os do grupo 4 (controle, n = 6) receberam apenas solução salina. Necrose e inflamação nas mandíbulas dos ratos foram avaliadas como indicadores de BRONJ.

Resultados:

Necrose e inflamação não foram detectadas no grupo 1 (BP + relaxina). No grupo 3 (somente BP), as taxas de incidência de necrose e inflamação foram de 90% e 60%, respectivamente.

Conclusões:

Nossos resultados sugerem que a relaxina pode ser potentemente eficaz na prevenção do BRONJ e ter algum benefício no tratamento do BRONJ existente.(AU)
