Apical Periodontitis (AP) is characterized by the presence of inflammation and destruction of mineralized and non-mineralized periapical tissues, processes that involve the production of cytokines, osteoclastogenesis and the action of enzymes, including cathepsin K (CatK). Tanshinones, substances extracted from the plant Salvia miltiorrhiza, are widely used in traditional Chinese Medicine…
Results published by our research group showed that cystatin CsinCPI-2, derived from citrus sinensis (sweet orange), was able to inhibit the gene expression and enzymatic activity of human cysteine cathepsins, showed anti-inflammatory activity and, had pro-osteogenic effect on human dental pulp cells. This pro-osteogenic effect was demonstrated by the increase in the alkaline phosphatase …
Pulp repair involves proliferation, migration and differentiation of progenitor cells of mesenchymal origin into osteoblats and odontoblasts-like at the site of injury, which leads to the formation of mineralized tissue. Preliminary results from our research group showed that the Citrus CPI-2 cystatin, derived Citrus sinensis (sweet orange), was able to inhibit the enzymatic activity of h…
