  • Patent number: 8293227
    Abstract: Topical formulations of CoQ10 reduce the rate of tumor growth in an animal subject. In the experiments described herein, CoQ10 was shown to increase the rate of apoptosis in a culture of skin cancer cells but not normal cells. Moreover, treatment of tumor-bearing animals with a topical formulation of CoQ10 was shown to dramatically reduce the rate of tumor growth in the animals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 1, 2012
    Date of Patent: October 23, 2012
    Assignee: University of Miami
    Inventors: Sung Lan Hsia, Niven Rajin Narain, Jie Li, Kathryn J. Russell, Karrune V. Woan, Indushekhar Persaud

  • Publication number: 20110136231
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell by delivery of exogenous Coenzyme Q1O or its metabolites thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to effectuate cell contact of endogenous Coenzyme Q1O or its metabolites thereof in addition to but not limited to mevalonic acid and oleic acid to form an intracellular complex. The present disclosure also provides a method of modulating the p53 pathway and Bcl-2 protein family in a manner that restores the apoptotic potential to a cancer cell by delivery of Coenzyme Q1O in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present disclosure further provides a method to specifically normalize the ratio of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 gene family in a proportion to re-program a cancer cell to undergo apoptosis.

  • Publication number: 20110027811
    Abstract: Systems and kits are provided which are capable of determining the oncogenicity of a cancer, tumor progression, and effectiveness of a cancer treatment. Such systems and kits utilize assays to examine the levels of apoptotic markers, angiogenesis markers, immunomodulation markers, and cell cycle markers and can compare samples from a patient taken at different times to determine the oncogenicity of a cancer, tumor progression, and effectiveness of a cancer treatment. Methods for determining the oncogenicity of a cancer, tumor progression, and effectiveness of a cancer treatment with such systems and kits are also provided.
