Definitions

  • Central nervous system (CNS) tumors include tumors present in the brain, spinal cord, or the lining around such structures (e.g., meninges and Schwann cells) or eye. Tumors of the CNS may be categorized as primary CNS tumors or secondary CNS tumors.
  • Primary CNS tumors are neoplasms that originate in the CNS.
  • Secondary CNS tumors the most common form of brain tumors, originate outside of the CNS and result from the primary tumor metastasizing to the CNS.
  • Secondary CNS tumors can either involve the brain directly (i.e., parenchymal involvement) or involve the lining (i.e., leptomeningeal and meningeal involvement).
  • solid tumors that have been shown to frequently metastasize to the CNS include lung, breast, adenocarcinoma of unknown primary site, melanoma, renal, and colon cancer.
  • primary solid tumors that more commonly metastasize to the CNS include sarcoma, Wilm's tumor, neuroblastoma, and germ cell tumor.
  • haematological malignancies that can metastasize to the CNS include acute lymphoblastic leukemia, high grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and less commonly acute myeloid leukemia.
  • Treatment of primary and secondary CNS tumors depends on the multiplicity, location, and grade of the tumor. Treatment of secondary CNS tumors may also depend upon the status of the systemic tumor. Treatment may include any of surgical resection, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and chemotherapy or some combination thereof.
  • SRS stereotactic radiosurgery
  • WBRT whole brain radiotherapy
  • Treatment of brain tumors faces a unique challenge compared to other types of cancers, due to the fact that not only are they developed within bone-covered structures, thereby having restricted space to expand, but they are also embedded deeply within an organ carrying a multitude of vital functions. Therefore, even a benign tumor can be life-threatening if it is in an area of the brain that controls critical body functions such as breathing or blood circulation. Treatment normally begins with surgical resection and then follows with radiation or chemotherapy.
  • Surgery faces the risk of removing surrounding tissues that may carry vital brain functions, while radiation and chemotherapy can both harm normal tissues that are near or along the treatment path. Indeed, surgery usually is not recommended if the tumor is in regions of cerebral hemispheres that control speech, vision, movement or cognition. In addition, the use of radiation on children under the age of three is often prohibited because this is a critical time period of brain development. Efficacy of chemotherapy is somewhat limited due to frequent limited duration of effects and lack of targeting and selectivity of the drugs.
  • BBB blood-brain barrier
  • ATP-dependent multidrug transporters such as P-glycoprotein (Pgp; ABCB1) and multidrug resistance protein MRP2 (ABCC2), which are found in the membranes of brain capillary endothelial cells, are thought to play an important role in BBB function by limiting drug penetration into the brain. It is, therefore, an obstacle to drugs that may combat diseases affecting the CNS.
  • Pgp P-glycoprotein
  • ABCC2 multidrug resistance protein MRP2

  • group 4 received 10 mg/kg IV (i.e., 30 mg/kg/day)
  • group 5 received 25 mg/kg IV (i.e., 75 mg/kg/day) for 4 weeks, 3 times daily.
  • Rats in groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 did not exhibit any signs of improvement and were sacrificed due to metastatic malignancy and severe CNS abnormalities, e.g., resulting in decreased muscle control, lack of coordination, weakness, paralysis, difficulties in walking that prevented the rats from eating or performing self care ( FIG. 2 ). These findings were recorded by MRI positive for tumor cells. In sharp contrast, animals injected with 25 mg/kg IV three times per day (i.e., 75 mg/kg/day) exhibited a significant recovery of their motor skills and regained their ability to walk. MRI distinctly shows the lack of tumor cells in this group ( FIGS. 3A and B).
  • CoQ10 is an effective treatment for CNS leukemia and may also be an effective prophylactic agent to prevent the extravasation of leukemic cells in the CNS, thereby preventing, delaying, or limiting the formation of secondary tumors.
  • Example 1 The model of CNS chloroleukemia in Fischer 344 rats provided in Example 1 was used for long term studies of the treatment of metastatic, leukemic CNS tumors. As in Example 1 chloroleukemic cells were injected into the rats as newborns and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was given as a first-line of treatment. The cure rate with this regimen was approximately 50%, and approximately 10% of survivors developed CNS leukemia as judged by their motor skills and the presence of quadriplegia and paraplegia.
  • LPS lipopolysaccharide
  • Rats in the control groups did not exhibit any signs of improvement and were sacrificed due to metastatic malignancy and severe CNS abnormalities, e.g., resulting in decreased muscle control, lack of coordination, weakness, paralysis, difficulties in walking that prevented the rats from eating or performing self care ( FIG. 4 ).
  • animals injected with 100 mg/kg IV exhibited a significant recovery of their motor skills and regained their ability to walk.
  • On days 173 and 195 five (5) animals which were treated with 100 mg/kg CoQ10 were sacrificed for necropsy and pathological analysis. No evidence of chloroleukemia or CNS tumors were found
  • CoQ10 is an effective treatment for CNS leukemia and may also be an effective prophylactic agent to prevent the extravasation of leukemic cells in the CNS, thereby preventing, delaying, or limiting the formation of secondary tumors.
