OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Weight stigma, or discrimination and devaluation of people due to high body weight, is associated with higher prevalence of concerning health consequences (e.g., depressive symptoms, body dissatisfaction). This public health research investigated how experiencing weight stigma affects weight-related health outcomes in a cohort of young people. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 1,534 Project EAT 2010-2018 participants were surveyed as adolescents (mean age=14.4 years) and eight years later as young adults (mean age=22.2 years). Participants were asked how often they were teased about their weight. Outcomes included body mass index (BMI), nutrition habits (intake of breakfast, fruit, vegetables, sugar-sweetened beverages, fast-food), sedentary/activity behaviors (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, screen time, sleep duration), and disordered eating behaviors (unhealthy weight control behaviors, extreme weight control behaviors, dieting, chronic dieting, overeating, binge eating). Regression models were adjusted for BMI, sociodemographic characteristics, and, in longitudinal models, the outcome assessed at baseline. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Experiencing weight stigma was cross-sectionally significantly associated with higher BMI, shorter sleep duration, and higher prevalence of all six disordered eating behaviors during both adolescence and young adulthood. It was also significantly associated with longer screen time in adolescence, and with lower breakfast frequency, higher intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, and higher intake of fast-food during young adulthood. Weight stigma in adolescence significantly predicted higher BMI and higher prevalence of overeating and dieting in young adulthood. For example, adolescents who were teased about their weight had a higher mean BMI (28.2 kg/m2 [95% confidence interval: 27.8-28.7]) in young adulthood compared to those who had not been teased (26.4 kg/m2 [95% confidence interval: 26.1-26.8]). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Findings add to the growing body of evidence that weight stigma may pose a threat to weight-related health. Because many clinicians are unaware of this evidence and healthcare settings are common sources of weight stigma, next steps include writing a research proposal that aims to decrease weight stigma conveyed to patients in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Our objective is to study the role of soluble adenylyl cyclase in the melanocyte regulation of pigment in response to ultraviolet radiation. Melanocytes are specialized cells that produce melanin in organelles called melanosomes, and melanin determines the pigmentation of hair and skin. cAMP is a master regulator of pigmentation and transmembrane class of adenylyl cyclases are essential for expression of important enzymes involved in melanogenesis. However, pigmentation is also controlled by melanosomal pH, which regulates melanogenesis, tyrosinase activity, and melanosome maturation. The relationship between melanosomal pH and cAMP has been elusive. Soluble adenylyl cyclase is a noncanonical source of cAMP that is not responsive to G proteins but rather functions as a pH sensor. We recently demonstrated that loss of soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) activity leads to increased melanosomal pH as well as increased pigmentation in cells and hair. We expanded our research to investigate the role of sAC in the intrinsic response of melanocytes to ultraviolet radiation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We utilized sACfl/fl (wild type) and sACKO mouse melanocytes and compared their change in pigmentation in response to ultraviolet radiation. Melanin was used as a measure of pigmentation. We irradiated these cells at differing doses of UVB (0, 1, 2, or 3 mJ/cm2) daily for 3 days. After UVB treatment, cells were observed and the surviving cell numbers were determined. Cells were then analyzed for melanin content using spectroscopy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We found that while both sACfl/fl and sACKO cells had increased melanin content in response to UVB, the melanin content of sACKO cells increased more compared with sACfl/fl cells (p=0.001 at daily dose of 3 mJ/cm2). In addition, sACKO cells required less UVB dose to induce a response. We also observed that sACKO cells show increased cell death compared with sACfl/fl cells. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Although both sACfl/fl and sACKO cells can induce melanin production in response to UV, our results suggest that sACKO cells are more sensitive. We believe that this increased response in sACKO cells is due to increased melanosomal pH. In addition, sACKO cells show increased cell death, suggesting that sAC is important in the damage response secondary to UV exposure. UV plays a wide range of roles in skin biology such as contributing to cancer risk and pigmentation. Since pigmentation is essential for the protection of the skin from UV insult, further investigation of possible mechanisms in which sAC can influence pigmentation in response to UV is warranted.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene are associated with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The metabolic function of TCF7L2 in the liver remains to be fully elucidated, but we hypothesized that TCF7L2 contributes to NAFLD through regulation of zonal metabolic pathways. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using single nuclei RNA sequencing, we examined Tcf7l2 expression in periportal (PP) hepatocytes around the portal triad and pericentral (PC) hepatocytes surrounding the central vein of the liver. To visualize TCF7L2 transcriptional activity we used a TCF reporter mice, which expresses an H2B-eGFP fusion protein downstream of the conserved TCF DNA binding site. We disrupted Tcf7l2 transcriptional activity in mouse liver by breeding mice with a floxed Tcf7l2 exon 11, which encodes part of the DNA binding domain (DBD), to albumin-Cre mice (Hep-TCF7L2ΔDBD). Eight-week-old mice were fed a choline-deficient amino acid-defined high fat (CDAHFD) diet for 8 weeks. In liver samples harvested from these mice, we examined disruption to several key zonated metabolic pathways, and quantified the development of fibrosis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Single nuclei analysis revealed that Tcf7l2 mRNA was expressed primarily in parenchymal cells of the liver but was ubiquitous across the liver lobule. However, in immunofluorescence analysis of TCF reporter mice, the transcriptional activity of TCF7L2 was highly restricted to PC hepatocytes. Classic PC hepatocyte markers, including glutamine synthetase (Glul), were absent in Hep-TCF7L2ΔDBD mice. Following the CDAHFD, Hep-TCF7L2ΔDBD mice developed more severe fibrosis in histological analysis, and expressed elevated levels of genes involved in fibrogenesis, collagen synthesis and TGFβ signaling. Hep-TCF7L2ΔDBD mice also displayed hepatic cholesterol accumulation following the CDAHFD, which was likely the result of impaired pericentral bile acid synthesis. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our results suggest that TCF7L2 plays an important role in the regulation of zonated metabolic pathways, which may contribute to the development of fibrosis. Ongoing analyses are exploring the mechanisms regulating the zonal transcriptional activity of TCF7L2.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Our research strives to understand the pathophysiology of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, focusing on the understudied nonmyocyte cardiac cells. Our understanding will enable researchers to develop protective or alternative therapies for cancer patients and treatments for cancer survivors. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Early studies have been carried out in isolated primary cardiac fibroblasts. Cells were treated with varying doses of doxorubicin. Cell viability, proliferation, and reactive oxygen species generation have all been studied. Future studies will focus on mitochondrial assessment in treated cells and confirmation of findings in animal models. Potential therapies discovered in these studies will also be conducted in animal models. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our results show a direct effect of doxorubicin on cardiac fibroblasts in vitro. Treated cells show a decreased rate of proliferation and increased production of reactive oxygen species. Similarly to cardiomyocytes, we hypothesize that reactive oxygen species damage the mitochondria of cardiac fibroblasts thereby altering their function and playing a role in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Current therapies have not been able to adequately protect patients from the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin and other anthracyclines. A complete understanding of how doxorubicin damages cardiac tissue will only be possible by studying all cell types of the heart. With a better understanding, alternative therapies can be developed to prevent or treat doxorubicin cardiotoxicity without sacrificing the efficacy of doxorubicin in treating cancer.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We developed a non-invasive test of ocular alignment (OA) as a measure of otolith asymmetry, which impacts vestibular function. This test has also been administered on commercial astronauts to study the effect of microgravity on vestibular function. We will assess OA test performance in ground subjects, which has not yet been characterized. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Subjects were recruited from visitors to Space Center Houston from June to October 2022. Participants wore red-blue glasses in a darkened room and aligned two vertically or torsionally misaligned line segments, one red and one blue, on a tablet. Each subject underwent 11 vertical and torsional trials. The remaining misalignment was used to calculate ocular misalignment. Subjects self-reported demographic and health data. We calculated descriptive statistics and explored the distribution of overall vertical and torsional OA and distributions by age. Next steps will establish the reliability of the outcome measures with intraclass correlation coefficients and analyze associations between demographic variables and health status with OA performance using linear regression analysis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A total of 143 participants (67 female) with a median age of 21 (range 5-74 years old) completed OA testing. Of participants, 64% identified as white, 10% as black, 14% as Asian, 3% as Native American, and 8% as unknown. This test battery was feasible to implement in this mixed-age sample, with a 95% completion rate. Median absolute vertical OA was 0.08 degrees (IQR = 0.17 degrees), and median absolute torsional OA was 0.80 degrees (IQR = 1.20 degrees). Visual analysis of plots of OA by trial number reveals no apparent learning effect within subjects, though some individuals had considerable variation in performance. Average absolute vertical ocular misalignment increased modestly when plotted by age (fitted regression line b = 0.0032 degrees per year of age, p = 0.004), unadjusted for potential confounders. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Ocular alignment testing was feasible in a mixed-age general population sample. Our findings will expand understanding of how OA varies with age. These results will be used to create a normative database to compare and inform analysis of OA results from commercial spaceflights, which include individuals of varying age and health statuses.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: High serum copper (Cu) levels have previously been described in bariatric patients. The kidneys are a target organ for Cu toxic insult but the role of Cu on kidney function (eGFR) is uncertain. This study examines the association between Cu and eGFR in a bariatric population in Southeast Louisiana. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Seven hundred fifty patients will be recruited from the Bariatric Center of the University Medical Center in New Orleans. Inclusion criteria include: age ≥ 18 years, clinic visit between June 1, 2018 – May 31st 2024, and having a serum Cu test result. Covariables such as inflammatory markers and hormonal contraception use will be assessed as potential confounders. Blood pressure will be assessed as a potential effect modifier. Data will be obtained from electronic medical records. Two cohorts will be assembled, a pre-surgery cross-sectional cohort and another followed post-surgery. Separate models will be developed stratified by race-ethnicity. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In a pilot study of bariatric patients 26% had elevated (>155 mcg/dl) serum Cu and pronounced racial differences were noted. Characteristics consisted of a mean BMI of approximately 50 kg/m2; 91% were female and 69% were Black. Black patients had approximately double the prevalence (OR 1.98; 95% CI: 1.15, 3.4) compared to white patients. Due to the dual nature of the kidneys’ involvement in metabolism via excretion and being the target organ for toxic insult, racial differences in exposure, coupled with the disproportionate rates of chronic kidney disease in Black adults, may be an explanation for the association between elevated Cu levels and eGFR in Black adults in this study. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Results from this study will provide insight into the prevalence of Cu and its association with kidney function in a bariatric population. Chronic kidney disease or other forms of renal impairment may result in the need for more conservative guidelines for dietary copper in bariatric medicine.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: The Bench Tutorials Program is an independent study course in biomedical research in which high school students are paired with graduate and post-doctoral students during the academic year. The purpose is to enhance the rigor of high school science education and build the pipeline of tomorrow’s researchers. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The Bench Tutorials Program: ο Proficiency in research design, implementation, and presentation; ο Acquisition of hands-on laboratory skills; ο Increase in scientific literacy; ο Increase in analytical skills and critical thinking; ο Career in science; ο Build the pipeline of tomorrow’s biomedical researchers METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: High School seniors are paired with graduate and postdoc mentors through a matching process. Students spend approximately four hours/week in supervised instruction and research from a participating laboratory in addition to classroom experience at their High School. Mentors design research projects relating to the larger research framework of their laboratories. In light of COVID-19, approaches have been adjusted to maintain the program safely through a hybrid method of using the high school lab for hands-on learning and through the use of Go-Pros ’s to enable our mentors to video and narrate as they conduct experiments in their own labs to teach their mentees scientific methods and processes. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Since inception, more than 400 students and mentors have participated in the Bench Tutorial’s program. This year we found a way to continue the program under COVID-19 restraints without putting anyone in harms way. Go-Pros have been essential for our program to maintain continuity for high school students who receive academic credit for this course. This program is also one of few in which our graduate students have the opportunity to serve as mentors in the scientific setting. Using Go-Pro’s will also enable us to provide teaching videos online for other academic institutions, so even in the absence of COVID-19 in the future, the continued use of these devices will still be of great value. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: High school students are afforded the ability to work on cutting edge research projects alongside graduate students and postdocs, who are afforded the chance to mentor and teach. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have successfully adjusted our methods for teaching through the use of Go-Pro technology.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths by 2030. Though many other cancers have seen improvements in patient survival rates, patients diagnosed with PDAC have a 5-year survival rate of only ~9%. A major contributor to decreased survival is late-stage diagnosis of the disease. New methods of early detection are urgently needed. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are secreted from cells of all tissue types into the circulation. EVs play important roles in a variety of diseases. They have shown to promote cancer progression and they are being studied as potential biomarkers for disease diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to perform qualitative and quantitative characterization of small-molecule profiles of EVs derived from various pancreatic cancer (PC) and normal pancreas cell lines, to provide proof-of-concept for evaluating the efficacy of leveraging EVs as potential biomarkers of PDAC. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: EVs were isolated from the conditioned media of six PC and two normal pancreas cell lines using differential ultracentrifugation with filtration. EV enrichment was validated using quantitative ELISA, immunoblot and transmission electron microscopy. Targeted liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and untargeted (UPLC-QTOF-MS) metabolomics were used to analyze the biochemical composition of EVs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The biochemical profile of PC EVs was found to be significantly different from the profiles of normal cell EVs. Interestingly, amino acids were downregulated in PC EVs as compared to normal cell EVs. However, PC EVs were enriched in lactate and malate. PC EVs also had significant upregulation in other small molecules such as xanthosine, guanosine diphosphate and nicotinamide. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our results indicate that the biochemical characterization of EVs using metabolomics has the potential to yield biomarkers which can delineate cancer cell-derived EVs from normal cell-derived EVs. Further work will test the clinical significance of these findings by similar analyses of plasma of PDAC patients. Furthermore, these profiles may be detectable before progression of the disease to late-stage PDAC, leading to the development of assays for earlier diagnosis in patients.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To account for association between the pair of binary outcomes, we adopt the Clayton and Frank copulas to indirectly specify their joint distributions. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We propose a regression model for the joint modelling of correlated bivariate outcomes using copulas. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: develop full maximum likelihood inference.

Objectives/Goals: In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development of air pollution prediction models, particularly in low- and middle-income countries that are disproportionately impacted by the effects of air pollution. Recent methodological advancements, particularly in machine learning, provide novel opportunities for modeling efforts. Methods/Study Population: We estimate daily ground-level fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area at 1-km2 grids from 2005 to 2023 using a multistage approach. Spatial and temporal predictor variables include data from the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS), Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), and additional meteorological and land use variables. We employed machine-learning-based approaches (random forest and gradient boosting algorithms) to downscale satellite measurements and incorporate local sources, then utilized a generalized additive model (GAM) to geographically weight predictions from the initial models. Model performance was evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. Results/Anticipated Results: On average, the random forest, gradient boosting, and GAM models explained 75, 82, and 83% of variations measured in PM2.5 concentrations. PM2.5 levels were generally higher in densely populated urban centers and lower in suburban and rural areas. Important predictors of ground-level PM2.5 included wind (both u and v components), 2-meter mean air temperature, elevation, and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Discussion/Significance of Impact: Using novel machine learning-based approaches, we developed robust models with fine-scale spatial (1-km2) and temporal (daily) variations of PM2.5 in Mexico City from 2005 to 2023. The predicted PM2.5 concentrations can further advance public health research on air pollution in Mexico City and beyond.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The preliminary analysis sought to retrospectively characterize the role of hypocretin receptor 2 (HCRTR2) in the development and prognosis of AD along with associated behavioral measures including smoking, self-reported drinking history, and neuroticism. Given the results in this study along with the paucity of information regarding the functional significance of rs2653349, we intend to comprehensively characterize HCRTR2 using haplotype analyses. We will then identify relationships between our haplotype analysis and IV alcohol self-administration using the Computer-Assisted Infusion System, and phenotypes identified in a sleep study. Furthermore, we aim at identifying functional loci in the hypocretin/orexin system by investigating differential allele expression in the orexin receptors in hippocampus tissue obtained from postmortem human brains. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This study examined 1569 European American and African American individuals between 18 and 65 years old, 922 of whom with a current diagnosis of AD. Participants were genotyped for HCRTR2 rs2653349 and ancestry was determined via a genome-wide panel of ancestry informative markers. AD was diagnosed using the Structured Clinical Interviews for DSM-IV (SCID-IV) for psychiatric disorders and recent alcohol use was assessed by 90-day Timeline Follow-back (TLFB) interviews. Smoking was assessed using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence and neuroticism was measured using the NEO Personality Inventory. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In European Americans, a significant difference was found in current AD diagnosis between AX carriers and GG carriers (z=−2.390, p=0.017). This relationship remained significant in a logistic regression model controlled for age and gender (R2=0.269, p=0.015). TLFB drinking measures were compared based on the median values to correct for the ceiling effect resulting from the assessment covering the past 90 days. Total drinks (U=8.280, p=0.004), number of drinking days (U=6.983, p=0.008), and average drinks per days (U=7.221, p=0.007) were all noted to significantly differ between the two allele groups among Caucasians. The associations between rs2653349 and total drinks (R2=0.115, p=0.023) and heavy drinking days (R2=0.190, p=0.015) remained significant in linear regressions controlled for age and gender. Furthermore, Caucasian AX carriers had a higher median number of drinking days relative to GG homozygotes among current AD positive subjects (U=6.937, p=0.012) and a lower median number of drinking days among current AD negative subjects (U=4.430, p=0.035). Among Caucasian AD negative subjects, there was a significantly greater frequency of smokers (χ2=3.550, p=0.046). In African American participants, there were no significant differences in AD diagnosis and in measures of AD severity by genotype. African American males diagnosed with current AD had higher rates of smoking in the AX group (χ2=4.969, p=0.017). No significant associations were found between rs2653349 and neuroticism in any of the cohorts analyzed in this sample. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The results suggest that, among Caucasians, AX carriers have an increased risk to develop AD independently of their age and gender. In addition, among individuals with a diagnosis of AD, AX carriers reported a greater number of drinking days, as measured by the TLFB, suggesting that this polymorphism also exerts an effect on the severity of the disease. This effect on increased alcohol consumption was absent in Caucasian AX carriers without current AD diagnosis. In future analysis, we will explore how different genetic profiles in HCRTR2, and also HCRTR1, may alter the orexin signaling pathway and how such alterations may predispose patients to develop AD and exacerbate AD once it develops.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: This work provides supporting evidence for the development of a novel immunosuppression therapy for transplant patients. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our laboratory reported that inhibition of the kinase DNA-PK(cs) in mice delays allogeneic graft rejection in part by mitigating the induction of certain cytokines. We hypothesized that this was due to an inhibition of intracellular signaling programs in T cells and designed studies to identify the mechanism(s) by which this occurs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The immortalized Jurkat T cell line was used to evaluate the effect of the DNA-PK(cs) inhibitor NU7441 on T cell activation by PMA/Ionomycin or PMA/PHA. Mouse primary splenocytes also were used to demonstrate the universality and reproducibility of our observations. Initially, protein mass spectrometry of lysates from untreated and NU7441-treated Jurkat cells identified proteins of interest regulated by DNA-PK(cs) that play a role in T cell activation and cytokine production. CRISPR genome editing was used to validate a potential downstream target of DNA-PK(cs). Western blot, ELISA, and flow cytometry were used to document changes in protein levels with respect to treatments. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We observed that expression of the transcription factor Egr1 was highly induced after activation but attenuated after treatment with NU7441 in both Jurkat T cells and mouse splenocytes. Phosphorylated serine 301 of Egr1 was identified by mass spectrometry in stimulated cells and fits the kinase consensus sequence for DNA-PK(cs). Both an endogenous CRISPR-generated serine 301 to alanine mutant and expression of a plasmid-based S301A mutant resulted in an unstable form of Egr1 that was barely detectable. In contrast, expression of either a S301 to D or E phospho-mimetic mutant resulted in a stable form of the protein detectable by Western blot. Further evaluation of these mutants and Egr1 phosphorylation is underway to determine the mechanism by which DNA-PK(cs) kinase regulates protein stability. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: We previously reported a role for DNA-PK(cs) in immunomodulation. We now have evidence that this occurs in part through stabilization of Egr1. We believe this novel finding will lead to uncovering a broader role for DNA-PK(cs) as a mediator of protein stability in T cells and provide support for targeting DNA-PK(cs) in immunosuppression therapy.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: High aortic stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the potential of our compliant stent-graft design to therapeutically increase aortic compliance over a standard aortic stent-graft. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The aorta from a human cadaver will be excised and placed into a pulse duplicator circuit. The stiffness of the system will be estimated using the pulse wave velocity (PWV), which will be calculated using the time delay between pressure measurements at proximal and distal locations in the system. Baseline measurements with the unstented aorta will be compared to two cases: (1) with a standard stent-graft placed, and (2) with our compliant stent-graft prototype in the descending thoracic aorta. PWV is calculated as the distance between the pressure sensors divided by the time delay. Faster PWV is associated with a stiffer vessel, or lower aortic compliance. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Prior work in vitro showed that the compliant stent-graft reduced peak and pulse pressures compared a standard, rigid stent-graft. We also expect the compliant device to exhibit lower PWV compared to a rigid stent-graft. Depending on the aortic tissue stiffness, the compliant stent-graft could raise or lower PWV compared to no stent. Mean pressure in the compliant case is likely to be slightly higher than the other two cases because the compliant stent-graft’s narrower lumen increases flow resistance. Although mean pressure will be higher, peak pressure should be lower than in the standard stent-graft because the added compliance decreases overall pressure swing between systole and diastole. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Lower PWV in the compliant stent-graft over the standard stent-graft will indicate its potential to therapeutically lower aortic stiffness in patients needing aortic stenting. Positive outcomes from this study will be a step toward the eventual translation of a compliant stent-graft to clinical use.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The study aim was to 1) elucidate mechanisms contributing to the evolution of PSCI using a clinically relevant model of diabetes, a major risk factor for stroke and cognitive impairment, and 2) develop angiotensin type 2 receptor (AT2R) agonism as a therapeutic target. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Diabetes was induced in male Wistar rats by a HFD & low dose streptozotocin combination. At 12-14 weeks of age a total of 69 control & diabetic rats were subjected to 1 hr middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) or Sham surgery. 3 days post-MCAO, rats that met the pre-set inclusion criteria were administered C21 or saline in drinking water at a dose of 0.12 mg/kg/day Adhesive removal task (ART) & 2-trial Ymaze were utilized to test sensorimotor & cognitive function at baseline as well as 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks post-stroke. At week 8 post-stroke cell suspensions from freshly harvested brains were analyzed by flow cytometry utilizing antibodies against cell surface markers for M1 (CD11b+/CD45 low/ CD86+/TNFa+), M2 (CD11b+/CD45 low/ CD206+/IL-10+), and residential microglia (CD11b+/CD45+/ TMEM119+). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Control rats progressively recovered from stroke-induced functional deficits by week 8, while diabetics still remained impaired (P< 0.05). 8 weeks post-MCAO only diabetic rats exhibited a decline in sensorimotor (P< 0.05) and cognitive function (P< 0.05) compared to Shams. Delayed administration of C21 on D2 post-stroke halted the decline and improved sensorimotor (P< 0.05) and cognitive function (P< 0.01). Flow cytometric analyses indicate that 8 post-stroke vehicle diabetics had an elevated M1/M2 ratio within the ipsilateral prefrontal cortex and hippocampus (P< 0.01, 0.01). They also had a larger percentage of non-residential microglia/macrophages, indicative of compromised blood brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Treatment with C21 significantly lowered the M1/M2 ratio (P< 0.05) and improved the BBB integrity. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Taken together this study suggests that the use of comorbid disease models such as diabetes, may allow for more translational evaluations of PSCI. Higher translational relevance may also lead to a higher number of successful clinical trials and more FDA approved stroke therapies. It also suggests that C21 may serve as a potential therapeutic to modulate the development of PSCI.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: One of the key difficulties in predicting allergenic pollen exposures has been a lack of information on source plant location and abundance. However, the increasing availability of spatially explicit data from remote sensing offers new opportunities to create comprehensive inventories of allergenic pollen producing plants. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In this study, we use a spatially oriented field survey to map common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) in Detroit, MI, USA. We then combine this with remote sensing imagery and LiDAR to predict ragweed presence and potential pollen production across 344 km2 of Detroit. Finally, we compare this with measurements of airborne pollen concentrations collected throughout the city. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our initial results show that ragweed is present in ~2% of the city, and its presence and abundance are strongly associated with demolished building (p<0.001). The uneven distribution of ragweed plants across the city leads to substantially higher pollen concentrations in neighborhoods where more buildings have been recently demolished. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our approach offers an effective way to quantify allergenic pollen production, airborne concentrations, and exposures across a large metropolitan area. This in turn provides insight on how to best reduce airborne pollen concentrations: in this case, by changing post-demolition land management practices.

Objectives/Goals: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are autoimmune diseases influenced by genetic and environmental factors. This study aims to explore infection patterns preceding IIM onset by applying temporal data mining and machine learning to deidentified patient records and corroborate results from molecular analysis. Methods/Study Population: The dataset used in this work was extracted from TriNetX with a focus on patients who have IIM. Risks for developing the outcomes were assessed using case–control cohorts. For each participant, information was extracted about diagnosis code, date of infection, and study visit in which the infection was reported. This data were then temporally encoded and used to generate sequence files for each of the outcomes. Unsupervised temporal machine learning was then preformed on these files to detect frequent subsequences of infections. Python library scikit-learn was used to perform the unsupervised machine learning with k-means clustering. Results/Anticipated Results: The results of this study identify infections associated with the onset of IIM by analyzing temporal infection patterns. Frequent sequences of infections uncovered, with specific patterns linked to different cohorts, offer insights into the etiology of IIM. Common and cohort-specific infection sequences will help validate existing research and provide new avenues for exploring the disease mechanisms. The findings will highlight significant infection patterns, which will inform our understanding of IIM onset across various patient populations. Discussion/Significance of Impact: The results will provide key insights into pre-symptomatic infection sequences related to IIM onset, enhancing understanding of its etiology and pathogenesis. These findings may aid in developing more precise screening methods for early detection and confirm previous results from analyzing immune signatures of infections in IIM.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Characterize the expression kinetics of HIV-1 Envelope and their relationship to virus production at the cellular level. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In vitro and ex vivo laboratory analyses. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Initial studies addressing the kinetics of cell surface. Envelope (Env) expression reveal that Env expression to peaks on day 2 post infection. Next steps include a series of experiments to compare the kinetics of Env cell surface expression with broadly neutralizing antibody (bNAb)-mediated ADCC and the characterization of virus production kinetics in this same context. To be maximally effective, ADCC elimination of infected cells should occur before peak Env expression. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Potent bNAbs to HIV-1 recognize vulnerable sites on the HIV-1 Envelope (Env) protein and are of great clinical interest due to their potential use in the prevention and treatment of HIV-1 infection. Their effectiveness depends not only on the neutralization of viral infectivity, but also on the elimination of productively infected cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). On a cellular level, ADCC dynamics are determined by the timing and level of Env expression on the surface of HIV-infected cells. This study aims to delineate the expression kinetics of HIV-1 Envelope and their relationship to virus production. We expect that it will provide new insights into the utility of bNAb-mediated ADCC in treating and possibly curing HIV-1 infection; therefore results might have substantial impact on future HIV treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of a Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD) vs conservative treatment for adults with non-apneic snoring, as measured by the sleeping partner. The secondary aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of snoring on the sleeping partner’s sleep quality. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We plan to enroll 60 pairs of primary snorers and their sleeping partners in our randomized clinical trial. Snorers will be randomized to either 4 weeks of conservative therapy, consisting of nightly Mometasone nasal rinse, breathe-rite strips, mouth taping, and lateral positional therapy, or 4 weeks of Mandibular Advancement Device therapy (MAD). 30 pairs of snorers and their partners will be in each arm. At follow up the primary outcome measure, the Clinical Global Impression of Improvement Scale (CGI-I), will be assessed by the sleeping partner to evaluate the response to snoring treatment. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: To date, there is no study reporting the rate of response in participants using MAD in Primary Snoring. Due to lack of preliminary data and effect size, we hypothesize that the rate of the responders in the MAD group will be 20% higher than the rate of responders in the active control group based on literature studies and preliminary results. A responder will be classified as someone whose sleeping partner rates on the CGI-I scale that the snoring was much improved or very much improved. MAD has been shown previously to be an effective therapy at treating sleep apnea and reducing snoring, and we anticipate it will continue to be so for patients who do not have sleep apnea. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Snoring is a nearly ubiquitous problem that prevents restful sleep for spouses of snorers, which is known to have detrimental health effects. Yet it does not have scientifically proven treatments. Our study will evaluate these treatments in an effort to improve the health of the sleeping partners.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Cancer clinical trials (CCTs) are vital tools in the advancement of cancer prevention and treatment. Yet, only 3%–5% of eligible patients enroll in CCTs. Low participation can be attributed, in part, to poor communication as well as a lack of awareness and understanding about CCTs. In order to increase participation in trials, interventions should foster meaningful communication about cancer prevention and CCTs, especially between medical professionals and members of the community. Community forums provide a channel to communicate about cancer with members public and to educate prospective participants about CCTs. Thus, our goal was to evaluate the efficacy of hosting community forums about cancer in order to educate the public and influence perceptions of CCT participation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: During the Spring of 2016, participants (n=51) who attended a community forum about CCTs completed a pretest and post-test survey assessing their understanding and perceptions of CCTs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Results from the pretest to post-test survey revealed a significant positive increase (p=0.01) in participants’ attitudes toward cancer clinical research as well as marginally significant increases in participants’ perceived subjective norms (p=0.06) about participating in CCTs and the perceived personal relevance (p=0.06) of clinical research participation pretest and post-test. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Findings suggest that community forums about cancer and CCTs could lead to an increased awareness and understanding of CCTs among members of the population and could be useful channels for cancer interventions.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: MDSCs are potent suppressors of T cell function, and have been recently found to be implicated in skin diseases driven by T cell dysregulation. However, the function of MDSCs in CLE is poorly understood. We sought to characterize the MDSC population in the peripheral blood of DLE patients and evaluate their ability to suppress autologous T cells. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: All patients were recruited through the UT Southwestern Cutaneous Lupus Registry. PBMCs from 32 CLE patients and 16 age-matched and gender-matched controls were analyzed using flow cytometry. Monocytic MDSCs were identified by the phenotype of CD14+ HLA-DR neg/low. Furthermore, autologous MDSCs and T cells were purified from CLE PBMCs (n=4) and co-cultured at different ratios of these cells. T cell function was measured by secretion of IFN-γ by ELISA. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Monocytic MDSCs in CLE PBMCs (median: 2.04%, IQR: 0.67%–5.07%) were significantly higher compared with healthy control PBMCs (median: 0.5%, IQR: 0.1%–1.07%, p=0.002). Although not significant on subset analysis, patients with CLE limited to the head and neck had the highest levels of MDSCs. CLE MDSCs (n=4) were found to suppress autologous activated T-cells in a dose-dependent manner. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: In this cross-sectional study of patients of the UT Southwestern Cutaneous Lupus Registry, we observed differences in the levels of MDSCs among PBMCs of CLE patients Versus healthy controls. CLE patients had significantly higher levels of MDSCs, which could be explained by the presence of an inflammatory state in this group. Furthermore, CLE MDSCs were able to suppress autologous T cells, showing that these cells are functionally patent in CLE blood. Their up-regulation in CLE blood may represent the body’s response to limiting disease severity, since most patients had mild disease activity.
