  Co Author: Each Little Leaf

  Under the guidance of 826 Los Angeles, a local- nonprofit organization, the 11th grade AP English language class of Sarah Gacina was selected to be part of the 826LA Young Authors Book Project. Each student wrote a piece to contribute to the array of stories published in 'Each Little Leaf.' The book focuses on the ' seemingly inconsequential, the inescapable impact of a single moment—of decision, laughter, or even the impact of individual reactions on our realities."

  Student Cancer Researcher

  Neuroblastoma is the most frequent solid cancer present in children outside of the skull, with over 600 new cases emerging each year. Despite all existing treatments, 40% of children diagnosed with Neuroblastoma die. Myc-N helps to define a specific subgroup in Neuroblastoma characterized by a high recurrence rate, poor response to therapy, and poor clinical outcome. MiR-186, a type of noncoding RNA is downregulated in Neuroblastoma and has Myc-N as a potential target, therefore harboring the potential to downregulate Myc-N expression. By silencing of Myc-N in Neuroblastoma, miR-186 might exert an anti-tumoral effect and could represent a new anti-cancer therapeutic tool. My goal is to answer the question: Is it possible to silence Myc-N by using a lentiviral vector that induces stable miR-186 expression in Neuroblastoma cell lines? I was able to successfully clone miR-186 in a lentivirus plasmid, generate lentiviral particles expressing miR-186, and conclude that Myc-N expression can be reduced by the increased expression of miR-186 in Neuroblastoma cell lines.The cell lines that I generated (CHLA-136 and LAN-5 expressing miR-186) will be used to assess the effects of miR-186 in MYC-N targeting and in Neuroblastoma growth both in-vitro and in-vivo.
