Proposed methods to optimize ischemic tissue regeneration have been reported. Phosphodiesterase\u20105 inhibitors act by inhibiting the degradation of guanosine 3\u2032,5\u2032\u2010cyclic monophosphate in the nitric oxide pathway, increasing its bioavailability and promoting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)\u2010mediated neovascular recruitment and the induction of tissue regeneration in the traumatized bone. Thirty male Sprague\u2013Dawley rats (6 months old) were subjected to an experimental model of traumatic ONFH divided into two groups, according to the administration of 5\u2009mg\/kg sildenafil or water (control group). Rats were then killed at 7, 14, and 21 days. Histological (Goldner's trichrome), histochemical (periodic acid\u2013Schiff [PAS]), and immunohistochemical (VEGF and osteopontin [OPN]) techniques were used to quantify bone and vascular responses. Higher levels of VEGF (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and OPN (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) immunostaining in the epiphysis, the greater formation of osteoid tissue (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01 on Day 7; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 on Day 14), and higher levels of PAS staining (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01 on Day 7) were observed in the sildenafil\u2010treated group. The present study demonstrated that sildenafil optimized bone tissue regeneration by increasing VEGF signaling and OPN expression, with increased bone formation (osteoid and carbohydrate macromolecule deposition) in the early stages following traumatic ischemic insult. Thus, sildenafil treatment may improve the prognosis of patients with osteonecrosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.24934","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,3]],"date-time":"2020-12-03T15:26:10Z","timestamp":1607009170000},"page":"2077-2082","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Phosphodiesterase\u20105 inhibition improves bone regeneration at the early stages of ischemic osteonecrosis of the femoral head in rats"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3116-9146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9 L.","family":"de Campos Pessoa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Histologia e Embriologia, Laborat\u00f3rio de Ultraestrutura e Biologia Tecidual, Instituto de Biologia Roberto Alc\u00e2ntara Gomes Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro  Rio de Janeiro RJ Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8538-4845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Victor H.
