OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The objective of this study was to determine if dopamine signaling is altered in a mouse model displaying excessive self-grooming and further elucidate the potential utility of compounds targeting the striatal DA system in modulating repetitive behaviors. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Here, we report studies using fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) in mice lacking the postsynaptic protein SAP90/PSD95-associated protein (SAPAP3 KO mice) as well as control littermates. Rodent self-grooming provides a behavioral output with which one can monitor repetitive, self-directed, patterned behavior that has great translational value to OCD-like disorders. Total time spent grooming was monitored in SAPAP3KO mice and control littermates. To further examine the role of DA in regulating repetitive grooming behaviors the magnitude and kinetics of DA transients were assessed using FSCV in ex vivo slice preparations as well as in anesthetized mice in vivo. DA transients were elicited in the dorsolateral striatum (DLS), dorsomedial striatum (DMS); and nucelus accumbens core (NAcc). In some experiments mice were crossed with DAT-Cre animals and channelrhodopsin 2 (ChR2) was virally expressed in DA neurons to allow optical stimulation of DA transients. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: As previously reported, SAPAP3 KO mice showed excessive grooming compared to control littermates at the age assessed (4-5 months). DA transients evoked by a single electrical pulse in slices from SAPAP3 KO mice were not significantly different from those observed in slices from control littermates in any of the regions tested including the DLS, DMS and NAcc. However, when four electrical pulses were applied at a frequency of 10Hz to mimic DA neuron bursting, the magnitude of DA transients observed in the DMS and NAcc of SAPAP3 mice were greater than those evoked in control littermates.Interestingly, phasic stimulation produced similar DA transients in the DLS of both genotypes suggesting that phasic DA signaling was not globally altered. To confirm this finding we crossed SAPAP3 KO mice with DAT-Cre mice and injected ChR2 containing virus into the midbrain to selectively express ChR2 in DA neurons. Transients were then optically evoked resulting in selective activation of DA neurons. Optical stimulation produced a pronounced enhancement of DA release in SAPAP3 KO mice specifically in the DMS and only following phasic-like stimulation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: These exciting findings suggest that DA signaling in SAPAP3KO mice is dysregulated in a very precise manner that is sub-region specific as well as dependent on the pattern of stimulation. These results suggest that targeted therapies that can modulate these specific modes of dopaminergic signaling in these distinct striatal subregions could provide improved efficacy in OCD patients that are resistant to SSRI treatment.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Modulation of autophagy has the potential to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is characterized by dysregulated inflammatory pathways and a defective intestinal epithelial barrier. We sought to better understand how autophagy can be utilized to regulate both inflammation and the intestinal barrier. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We examined mice with an autophagy defect in only macrophages in an animal model of IBD. To understand the phenotype, we utilized macrophages to investigate the mechanism behind autophagy and proinflammatory cytokine secretion. In addition, we analyzed the development of colonoids in a co-culture system with macrophages with or without a functional autophagy pathway. Lastly, pharmacological modulation of autophagy to control inflammation was assessed. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Mice with autophagy-deficient macrophages were highly susceptible to intestinal barrier disruption. Susceptibility was due to enhanced proinflammatory cytokine secretion and intestinal permeability. Furthermore, proinflammatory macrophages (due to an autophagy defect) co-cultured with colonoids, significantly decreased the number of mucus producing goblet cells. Finally, pharmacologically modulation of autophagy reduced the secretion of proinflammatory cytokine by macrophages and reduced intestinal permeability. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our results strongly suggest autophagy modulation can dampen inflammation and enhance the intestinal epithelial barrier.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: A collaboration among Indiana CTSI community health partnerships (CHeP), bioethics, and regulatory programs identified and reviewed human research protection training programs targeting community engaged research, and pilot tested CIRTification with community partners working across a range of contexts. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We searched community human research protection training programs from across the county, identified three, examined each based upon criteria identified by community partners (time, relevance, online delivery) and our Human Research Protection Program (HRPP), and selected CIRTification (CIRT) to pilot. Ten community research partners volunteered to complete CIRT and a debriefing interview. Four completed CITI training previously. Participants included local and state-wide organizations, a resident, a state agency, and a hospital, and came from rural and urban communities. Interviews covered practical issues (ease of use, language, time), relevance, and comparison to CITI. Results were shared with HRPP for approval. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Most felt CIRT was easy to navigate and engaging, and those who had done CITI felt CIRT was more relevant and engaging. The sections on historical background and recruitment were cited as most valuable. Suggestions were made to increase the diversity of examples beyond health care research. Community members mentioned several applications for CIRT including: (1) helping their own community work; (2) empowering them to be an advocate; (3) referring others to CIRT; (4) influencing approaches to recruitment and community engagement; and (5) applying ethics principles to their other community work. The Human Research Protection Program approved CIRT in place of CITI for community researchers. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our process represents collaboration across the Indiana CTSI, HRPP and community partners, and use of best practices. Exemplifying “nothing about us without us”, actions were based on direct input from community partners, with the goal of decreasing barriers to engaging communities in research.

Academic discovery in biomedicine is a growing enterprise with tens of billions of dollars in research funding available to universities and hospitals. Protecting and optimizing the resultant intellectual property is required in order for the discoveries to have an impact on society. To achieve that, institutions must create a multidisciplinary, collaborative system of review and support, and utilize connections to industry partners. In this study, we outline the efforts of Case Western Reserve University, coordinated through its Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC), to promote entrepreneurial culture, and achieve goals of product development and startup formation for biomedical and population health discoveries arising from the academic ecosystem in Cleveland. The CTSC Office of Translation and Innovation, with the university’s Technology Transfer Office (TTO), helps identify and derisk promising IP while building interdisciplinary project teams to optimize the assets through key preclinical derisking steps. The benefits of coordinating funding across multiple programs, assuring dedicated project management to oversee optimizing the IP, and ensuring training to help improve proposals and encourage an entrepreneurial culture, are discussed in the context of a case study of therapeutic assets, the Council to Advance Human Health. This case study highlights best practices in academic innovation.

Clinical research professionals (CRPs) are integral to the academic medical center workforce, research operations, and daily clinical research tasks; however, due to inconsistent training, there is a shortage of qualified CRPs. The Joint Task Force for Clinical Trial Competency created a competency framework for CRPs, which has demonstrated positive results from various institutions, but training programs have been limited in standardization, replicability, and dissemination. To improve this, we designed the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center Clinical Research Foundations (CRF) training program, which is a competency-based online self-paced CRP training curriculum hosted via the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) portal. We examined feasibility, acceptability, and uptake of the UTSW CRF training on an institutional scale and were pleased to find this curriculum is not only feasible but has high levels of acceptability. Furthermore, faculty, clinicians, and trainees voluntarily completed this training program indicating utility across diverse groups. The UTSW CRF combines the existing CITI training modules with UTSW-created material, providing an optimal balance between generalized clinical research education and institutionally tailored content. We believe the UTSW CRF curriculum could serve as a plug-and-play foundational model for other research centers to tailor according to their audience and institutional needs.

Little has been published on the demographic composition of the clinical and translational science research workforce within the Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program despite the well-documented need for greater diversity in the biomedical research workforce. Analyses of workforce demographic reveal that women and members of underrepresented groups remain persistently underrepresented in the CTSA hub and training components principal investigators. In contrast, in the CTSA Program career development and training programs, females have greater representation as participants, and non-Whites were better represented in training programs.

Objectives/Goals: Objective: To examine whether familial longevity modifies the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults. Goals include assessing the impact of familial longevity on 1) CVD prevalence, 2) CVD incidence, and 3) mortality among individuals with CKD. Methods/Study Population: An observational, longitudinal study. We examined 1,236 Ashkenazi Jewish adults (ages 65–94) from the LonGenity cohort. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was the independent variable, calculated using the CKD-EPI equation 2021. CVD prevalence, incidence, and mortality were our outcomes. CVD was defined as a composite of MI, PCI, CABG, or stroke. Exceptional longevity was defined as living past 95 years, grouping participants into OPEL (offspring of parents with exceptional longevity, n = 576) and OPUS (offspring of parents with usual survival, n = 604). Stratified logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models assessed eGFR’s association with CVD, testing effect modification through eGFR × OPEL interaction terms. Median follow-up was 5.5 years. Results/Anticipated Results: A significant association was observed between eGFR and CVD prevalence in OPUS, but not in OPEL. No significant link was found between eGFR and CVD incidence or mortality in either group. Familial longevity did not modify the association between eGFR and CVD prevalence, nor the composite of CVD incidence and mortality, as the interaction term was nonsignificant. The LonGenity cohort’s health status may have influenced these results due to selection and survivor biases, limiting generalizability. Further research is needed to clarify familial longevity’s role in kidney function and cardiovascular outcomes. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Our findings suggest that kidney function, as measured by eGFR, may be associated differently with cardiovascular risk in those with and without familial longevity. The study highlights potential limits of familial longevity in modifying CVD risk associated with CKD, underscoring the need for tailored CVD prevention strategies.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Issues with recruiting the targeted number of participants in a timely manner often results in underpowered studies, with more than 60% of clinical studies failing to complete or requiring extensions due to enrollment issues. The objective of this study is to develop and implement a scalable, organization wide platform to enhance accrual into clinical research studies. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We are developing and evaluating an informatics platform called Utah Utility for Research Recruitment (U2R2). U2R2 consists of 2 components: (i) Semantic Matcher: an automated trial criterion to patient matching component that also reports uncertainty associated with the match, and (ii) Match Delivery: mechanisms to deliver the list of matched patients for different research and clinical settings. As a first step, we limited the Semantic Matcher to utilize only structured data elements from the patient record and trial criteria. We are now including distributional semantic methods to match complete patient records and trial criteria as documents. We evaluated the first phase of U2R2 based on a randomized trial with a target enrollment of 220 participants that compares 2 treatment strategies for managing back pain (physical therapy and usual care) for individuals consulting a nonsurgical provider and symptomatic <90 days. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: U2R2 identified 9370 patients from the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics as potential matches. Of these 9370, 1145 responded to the Back Pain study research team’s email or phone communications, and were further screened by phone. In total, 250 participants completed a screening visit, resulting in the current study enrollment of 130 participants. Forty-three of 1145 patients refused to participate, and 50 participants no-showed their screening visit. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: A recruitment platform can enhance potential participant identification, but requires attention to multiple issues involved with clinical research studies. Clinical eligibility criteria are usually unstructured and require human mediation and abstraction into discrete data elements for matching against patient records. In addition, key eligibility data are often embedded within text in the patient record. Distributional semantic approaches, by leveraging this content, can identify potential participants for screening with more specificity. The delivery of the list of matched patient results should consider characteristics of the research study, population, and targeted enrollment (eg, back pain being a common disorder and the possibility of the patient visiting different types of clinics), as well as organizational and socio-technical issues surrounding clinical practice and research. Embedding the delivery of match results into the clinical workflow by utilizing user-centered design approaches and involving the clinician, the clinic, and the patient in the recruitment process, could yield higher accrual indices.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Natural killer (NK) cells are a potential cancer therapeutic but expanding NK cells efficiently in vitro is difficult. Natural killer cell deficiency (NKD), a primary immune deficiency affecting only NK cells, is caused by defects in several DNA replication proteins. By studying NKD we will achieve better NK cell in vitro differentiation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: One patient with NKD has a compound heterozygous mutation in the essential DNA replication protein MCM10. We hypothesize that in individuals with NKD, dramatic telomere erosion from abnormal DNA replication leads to premature senescence and the loss of NK cells. To test our hypothesis, we will knockout one allele of MCM10 or over express MCM10 in NK cells isolated from blood. We will then monitor telomere length, expansion and cytotoxic activity of these NK cells. To understand the role of MCM10 in early stages of NK cell development we will deplete MCM10 in induced pluripotent stem cells and differentiate these cells into NK cells. During this differentiation we will monitor progression through NK cell developmental stages as well as telomere length and senescence markers. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Telomeres insulate chromosomes and induce permanent growth arrest (senescence) when they are critically short. We have demonstrated that depletion of a DNA replication protein causes telomere erosion and increases senescence markers. NK cells have shorter telomeres and lower telomerase expression than other immune cells. We predict, this relatively poor telomere maintenance sensitizes NK cells to telomere loss upon depletion of replication proteins. During in vitro differentiation, we expect NK cell precursors to undergo premature senescence secondary to telomere shortening. Furthermore, we expect supplementation of DNA replication proteins will enhance NK cell expansion and maturation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: NKD patients have provided the scientific community with clues as to what proteins NK cells rely on for their development. This project aims not only to understand why these proteins are critical, but to harness that information for cellular anti-cancer therapeutics.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Insights from this project will provide clinical guidance in treatment of immunotherapy in triple negative breast cancer and identify early imaging biomarkers of treatment response. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Significant research that addresses monitoring and predicting patient response of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to immunotherapy is needed. Using positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to probe the tumor microenvironment (hypoxia, T-cell activation), we aim to predict early response to immunotherapy for in mouse models of TNBC tumors. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Female Balb/c mice with 4T1-luciferase mammary carcinoma cell tumors were administered paclitaxel (PTX; 10 mg/kg), anti-PD1 (200 µg), both, or vehicle (saline) intraperitoneally. Treatment was given on days 0, 2, and 5 for cohort 1 (n=16) who underwent granzyme B specific (GZP) PET imaging (T-cell activation) and days 0, 2, 5, and 8 for cohort 2 (n=12) who underwent [18F]-fluoromisonidazole (FMISO)-PET imaging (hypoxia). Bioluminescence (BLI) imaging and caliper measurements were performed to track tumor size changes at multiple timepoints and tumors were collected for histological validation on day 20. Mean standard uptake value (SUVmean) was calculated as percent of day 0, and statistical analyses were performed with unpaired t-tests and Wilcoxon-rank sum tests. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Non-responders to treatment had a significantly higher tumor volume compared to responders starting on day 6 (p<0.05). Although no significant differences in BLI between control and single-agent therapies were found, BLI data revealed that treatment with combination PTX and anti-PD1 significantly decreased viability signal between days 3 and 6 (p=0.04). SUVmean from GZP-PET was over 250% higher in responders compared to non-responders by day 6 (p=0.03). SUVmean from FMISO-PET was 80% less in responders compared to nonresponders, indicating less tumor hypoxia (p=0.04). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Non-invasive PET imaging of the tumor microenvironment can provide data on T cell activation and hypoxic response predicting response to combination immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Utilizing advanced imaging to understand biologically distinct features of the TNBC tumor microenvironment can aid in personalizing anti-cancer therapies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Adoption of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model promises to transform large-scale observational health research. However, there are diverse challenges for operationalizing OMOP in terms of interoperability and technical skills among coordinating centers throughout the US. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A team from the Critical Path Institute (C-Path) collaborated with the informatics team members at Johns Hopkins to provide technical support to participating sites as part of the Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) process linking existing concepts to OMOP concepts. Health systems met regularly via teleconference to review challenges and progress in ETL process. Sites were responsible for performing the local ETL process with assistance and securely provisioning de-identified data as part of the CURE ID program. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: More than twenty health systems participated in the CURE ID effort.Laboratory measures, basic demographics, disease diagnoses and problem list were more easily mapped to OMOP concepts by CURE ID partner institutions. Outcomes, social determinants of health, medical devices, and specific treatments were less easily characterized as part of the project. Concepts within the medical record presented very different technical challenges in terms of representation. There is a lack of standardization in OMOP implementation even among centers using the same electronic medical health record. Readiness to adopt OMOP varied across the institutions who participated. Health systems achieved variable level of coverage using OMOP medical concepts as part of the initiative. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Adoption of OMOP involves local stakeholder knowledge and implementation. Variable complexity of health concepts contributed to variable coverage. Documentation and support require extensive time and effort. Open-source software can be technically challenging. Interoperability of secure data systems presents unique problems.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: This study aims to determine if a bronchiolitis specific microbiome exists and how it evolves through disease course. Objective 1. Determine the microbiome profile of the airway in virus induced bronchiolitis-associated respiratory failure. Objective 2. Identify changes in the airway microbiome profile through the course of virus induced bronchiolitis associated respiratory failure, and the relationship between microbiome composition and clinical respiratory status. Objective 3. Determine the impact of rhinovirus infection on the lung and stool microbiome in a murine asthma model. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Objectives 1 &2: We are conducting a single-center prospective case-control study of patients admitted to the Komansky - Weill Cornell Pediatric Critical Care Unit. Infants less than two years of age with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis requiring intubation and mechanical ventilation are enrolled as subjects. Infants less than two years of age intubated and requiring mechanical ventilation without primary lung pathology are enrolled as controls. To evaluate our primary objective, tracheal aspirates will be collected from both subjects and controls on the day of intubation. We will perform 16s RNA sequencing on the tracheal aspirate samples and compare the resulting microbiomes. To evaluate secondary objective, we will collect tracheal aspirates of our study population on a daily basis and map the microbiome in parallel with objective measures of respiratory status including oxygen index and successful extubation. Both subjects and controls are being enrolled as a convenience sample. Objective 3: Mice, heterozygous for the sptlc2 gene (Spltc2 +/−) demonstrate reduced de-novo sphingolipids and increased airway hyperresponsiveness with methacholine challenge. Airway hyper-responsiveness is a cardinal feature of asthma. This airway hyperresponsiveness is exacerbated in the setting of rhinovirus (Figure 1). Using 16s sequencing, we will examine the lung microbiome of Sptlc2 +/− ad Sptlc2 +/+ at 1- and 7-days following rhinovirus infection. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: This clinical study is currently IRB approved and enrollment is ongoing. We have enrolled 12 subjects and 5 controls. Sample analysis will begin following the 2018-2019 respiratory season, with an anticipated cohort of 20 subjects and 20 controls. With regards to the murine studies, we have demonstrated that the lung microbiome of Sptlc2 +/− and Sptlc2 +/+ mice is similar at baseline (Figure 2) and remains similar following 1-day infection with rhinovirus. We do however, see a distinct change in the microbiome profile of the stool of Sptlc2 +/− mice following rhinovirus infection (Figure 3). Lung analysis at day 7 post infection is pending. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: These studies will lay the groundwork for detailing the functional role of the airway microbiome in bronchiolitis, with the objective of developing new modalities for disease treatment and prevention. In addition our murine studies allow us to view the microbiome in the context of sphingolipid deficiency, providing a potential mechanistic link to rhinovirus and ORMDL3 associated asthma.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: CFTR is the mutant protein that causes cystic fibrosis (CF), a fatal respiratory diseases affecting 1 in 3500 children. CFTR modulators are small molecules that directly address mutant CFTR function. Improving correction of the F508del CFTR mutation (affecting 90% of CF patients) is one of the most pressing unmet needs in CF. Currently available F508del therapeutics only marginally improve CF, In vitro, we have identified a miRNA that impairs utility of CFTR directed therapies. miR-145 is upregulated by TGF-β (a genetic modifier of CF lung disease) with a direct binding site on the 3’-untranslated region of CFTR mRNA. Binding of miR-145 to CFTR destabilizes mRNA transcript and impedes protein translation. Overexpression of miR-145 abolishes benefit of F508del CFTR correction. Antagonists to miR-145 block TGF-β suppression of CFTR function and augment response to CFTR correction. This project evaluate in vivo impact of TGF-beta and miRNA manipulation on CFTR functional readouts including nasal potential difference (NPD) and short circuit current (Isc) across tracheal explants in addition to standard biochemical measures. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Wild-type Sprague-Dawley rats were inoculated with an adenoviral vector containing bioactive TGF-beta or sham at 1×109 pfu/animal placed in the left nares. Seven days post-inoculation, functional, and biochemical measures were conducted. NPD was measured with a microelectrode placed in the left nare and grounded the tail. The nare was sequentially perfused with standard Ringer’s solution, amiloride (to block the ENaC sodium channel), low chloride Ringer’s (to stimulate chloride efflux), forskolin (to open the CFTR channel) and CFTRinh-172 (to block the CFTR channel. Tracheal explants were harvested, microdissected, and placed on modified Ussing chambers. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We have inoculated WT rats with bioactive TGF-β Versus sham delivered by intranasal inoculation of an adenoviral vector. Functional readout of CFTR function is by Isc across tracheal epithelia and NPD. Lung homogenates are analyzed for TGF-β signaling, miRNA expression, and CFTR transcripts. Both tracheal explants and NPD indicate TGF-β stimulation diminishes CFTR function in vivo. In tracheal explants, TGF-β exposure diminishes CFTR response to forskolin-stimulation by 75%. Loss of current after CFTR inhibition (CFTRinh-172) is halved. By nasal PD, TGF-β inoculation similarly halves the bioelectric response to low chloride and forskolin stimulation. Evaluation by qPCR reveals a strong increase in TGF-β signaling demarcated by PAI-1, prompting a reduction in CFTR mRNA. miR-145 is expressed highly in rat pulmonary tissue, but no change in overall miR-145 levels was detected between TGF-β and sham exposed rats. This finding reflects what we have observed in human lungs, with a localized increased miR-145 expression in CF epithelia, but similarly high levels of miR-145 in both CF and non-CF whole lung homogenates. Although expressed at lower levels than miR-145, we did find increased expression in TGF-β relevant miR-101, miR-494, and miR-144 that have a predicted binding site on rat 3’-UTR in TGF-β exposed Versus sham lungs. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our data indicate the relevance of TGF-β stimulation to suppress CFTR synthesis and function in vivo. Future work will evaluate whether these additional miRNA with CFTR binding sites may mediate TGF-β suppression of CFTR in the rat model, and the utility of miRNA manipulation to augment F508del CFTR correction.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: MicroRNAs (miRNA) affect transcription of a number of genes involved in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and have become attractive therapeutic targets and biomarkers. Elevated renal gluconeogenesis, fibrosis, and albuminuria are early markers of incipient DN. Recent studies report that renal miRNA-451 may protect against DN and reduce renal gluconeogenesis in rodent models. MiRNA-451 is thought to act by targeting select factors resulting from disrupted insulin and growth factor signaling and the mechanistic-target of rapamycin (mTOR) in early DN. This study aimed to elucidate the role of miRNA-451 in the development and progression of DN. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To further elucidate the role of miRNA-451 in DN, we placed male insulin-resistant, TALLYHO/Jng mice on a high-fat diet (60% kCal). The mice were divided into 2 treatment groups and received 8 consecutive weekly intraperitoneal injections of locked nucleic acid (LNA) miR-451-inhibitor or LNA-scrambled compound (2 mg/kg·bw; n=8/treatment). Mice were euthanized after 12 weeks (4 weeks sans injections) and kidneys, liver, pancreas and abdominal adipose tissue were harvested for analysis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Renal homogenate expression of miRNA-451 was drastically reduced in inhibitor-treated mice (~6-fold) in comparison with scramble-treated mice. Western blotting of cortex homogenates for indicators of fibrosis and targets of miRNA-451 revealed a significant reduction in collagen IV (marker of epithelial integrity) in inhibitor-treated mice. In addition, metalloproteinase type 9 (MMP9, a known type IV collagenase), YWHAZ (a scaffolding protein and known target of miR-451), mTOR, and fructose bisphosphatase (FBP1, a rate-limiting gene in gluconeogenesis) were significantly increased in this group in comparison to scramble-treated mice. However, no differences were found in protein levels for glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) or phosphoenolpyruvate (PEPCK), 2 additional gluconeogenic rate-limiting genes. MiRNA-451 antagonist did not significantly affect final body weight or blood glucose; however, mean blood sodium concentrations were slightly, but significantly higher (2%) in the LNA-inhibitor treated group (when compared with the scramble-treated group). No differences in blood potassium or chloride were found. Anion gap was 90% higher in the LNA-inhibitor treated group when compared with scramble-treated mice. No differences in urinary albumin to creatinine ratio were found between the two treatment groups. However, Masson Trichrome scoring revealed a 59% increase in fibrosis in inhibitor-treated mice. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Collectively, these findings support a potentially protective role of miRNA-451 in attenuating signaling via mTOR that may alter both renal gluconeogenic potential (contributing to the diabetic phenotype) and activation and progression of renal fibrosis. Therapies to enhance miRNA-451 signaling may be beneficial to reduce renal pathology associated with DN.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Researchers include community health workers and promotoras (CHW/Ps) on research teams to increase community engagement; however, no formal training on research best practices exists for this group. Study objectives were to examine perceived relevance of a new culturally and linguistically appropriate CHW/P training and optimal delivery modes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted six focus groups (FGs), three each in English and Spanish, at three study sites, University of Florida, University of Michigan, and University of California Davis from February to August 2021. The CHWs/Ps were purposively selected to include diverse age, race/ethnicity, educational level, and work experience. Separate FGs were conducted for CHWs/Ps in English and Spanish as appropriate. All FGs were audio recorded, translated to English from Spanish, transcribed and analyzed using RADaR (Rigorous and Accelerated Data Reduction) technique. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Forty CHWs/Ps (95% women, mean age 45) participated, with the majority (58%) identifying as Hispanic/Latino. Of the sample, most identified as White (50%) or Black (25%). The proposed training was mentioned as relevant and would help them to be confident, comfortable, knowledgeable and effective in the community. Online training, though advantageous due to its flexibility also reportedly had barriers such as internet access, computer availability and technological know-how of CHWs/Ps. A hybrid training approach, online plus peer-led, was recommended due to the importance of personal guidance by an experienced CHW/P’ especially for a newly recruited CHW/P. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Findings indicated that a culturally and linguistically appropriate CHW/P training that is flexible and easily accessible in its mode of delivery is relevant and useful. In-person guidance to a new CHW/P was reported as an important training component. Poster will include the detailed quotes on relevance, usefulness, and mode of delivery of training.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Predicting therapeutic responses in GBM. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The goal of this team approach is to integrate mathematical models of glioblastoma (GBM) infiltrating myeloid cells that contribute to the immunosuppressive phenotype in glioma with experimental data to predict therapeutic responses to combined chemokine receptor and immune checkpoint blockade. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Orthotopic murine KR158-luc gliomas were established in fluorescent reporter CCR2WT/RFP CX3CR1WT/GFP mice. Subsequently, an anti-CD31 injection was administered to label the vasculature. Fluorescent imaging and quantification of anti-CD3 stained sections were performed on a range of tumor sizes to acquire vasculature, tumor, T cell, and myeloid cell densities. In parallel, a system of ordinary differential equations was formulated based on biological assumptions to evaluate the change over time of tumor cells, T cells, and infiltrating myeloid cells. The model was then refined and validated by experimental results. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Fluorescent imaging and quantification revealed a correlation between tumor size and abundance of (CX3CR1+, CCR2-) and (CX3CR1+, CCR2+) myeloid cell populations in the tumor microenvironment. The density of these cell populations and vasculature remained constant as the tumors increased in size. Computer simulations of the mathematical model will predict tumor, myeloid, and T cell dynamics. These simulations will be particularly useful to uncover information regarding myeloid cell dynamics, such as cell entry time into the tumor microenvironment. Parameter sensitivity analysis of the model will inform us of the biological processes driving these tumor-immune cell dynamics. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: GBM is a challenge as current intervention are ineffective. This study improves the understanding of glioma infiltrating myeloid cells and their impact on tumor progression. The data will serve as a basis for quantitatively predicting therapeutic responses of a novel combination treatment.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To share lessons learned from implementing a health survey to a global sample of mTWs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: mTWs were paid $0.50 for taking a 15 minute survey to ascertain attitudes and intentions toward participating in genetic research. Two phases included: pilot survey targeting 7 global regions and a large-scale implementation in English in United States, India, and other countries and in Spanish in Spanish speaking countries. Administrative and descriptive information were collected and analyzed by region/country including: completions by location, demographics, time to complete, and survey satisfaction. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: There are 4 key lessons: (1) MTurk is fast. The US sample (n=505) accrual took <2 days and the Indian sample (n=505) took 11 days, while the response from other countries (n=118) generally exceeded 30 days. (2) Using Amazon country specification was the best way to ensure responses from specific countries and regions. (3) Demographic differences exist in mTWs between countries. For example, US mTWs were significantly more likely female (60.1%) compared with India (30.2%) and other countries (34.2%). (4) mTWs found the survey understandable/acceptable. mTWs reported high understandability and acceptability of the survey, which did not vary significantly across countries or by language. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: mTurk provides an efficient platform for survey research from diverse US and Indian samples. In other countries and in Spanish, the mTurk mechanism yielded a smaller sample more slowly but was still effective.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: High blood-pressure (BP) is a common adverse effect of erythropoietin (EPO) therapy among patients with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, and even among otherwise healthy individuals who receive EPO. In human genetics, EPO is associated with not only red blood cell traits, but hypertension (HTN) as well. Currently, there is no vascular gene expression data available in the setting of EPO-induced HTN that may explain precise role of key cellular players in its hypertensive etiology. Our aim is to characterize vascular transcriptome to identify key cellular players in EPO-induced HTN. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 10-12 week C57BL/6 male and female mice were randomly divided into two groups 1. Vehicle (0.9% saline-VEH), 2. EPO, (N = 4). VEH and EPO were intraperitoneal administered (EPO 75U/30g, 3 times/week) for 20 days. Blood-pressure was measured non-invasively via tail-cuff plethysmography. We characterized in-vivo transcriptome response of mouse descending aorta to EPO-HTN and vehicle control group by high-throughput RNA-sequencing. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was significantly higher in EPO treatment, compared to vehicle (males and females combined SBP VEH 116.29 ± 6.21, EPO 129.57 ± 4.59, mean ± s.d., adjusted P = 0.0012). Comparison of in-vivo transcriptional differences between vehicle and EPO-treated reveal statistically significant changes in cellular pathways consistent with hypertension such as upregulation of RAS signaling pathway and oxidative stress. In-vitro mouse aortic smooth muscle cells, EPO markedly increased phosphorylated-ERK activity, suggesting increased RAS activity. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This study highlights the importance of previously unknown vascular key players and advances our understanding of the transcriptional events associated with EPO-induced hypertension.
