OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective of this study was to determine whether pet dogs with multicentric lymphoma (ML), a spontaneous, immunocompetent model for human non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), are exposed to higher concentrations of herbicides and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) compared to matched unaffected control dogs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We are prospectively enrolling dogs with ML within a single high-risk breed, the boxer dog, along with age-matched control boxers sampled within the same season. We are measuring urinary concentrations of the herbicides glyphosate (in Roundup®) and 2,4-D, as well as stable urinary metabolites of the VOCs benzene and 1,3-butadiene. To assess the genotoxic potential of herbicide and VOC exposures, we are using reverse dosimetry to estimate plasma exposures, and exposing healthy canine PBMC’s to these concentrations of herbicides and VOCs in vitroto assess double stranded DNA damage using the Comet Chip assay. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Preliminary data show significantly higher benzene exposures, measured by the stable benzene metabolite PHMA, and significantly higher 2,4-D exposures at the time of diagnosis in cases versus controls. All dogs had measurable exposures to 1,3-butadiene (measured as its stable metabolite DHBM) and glyphosate.In vitro results show significant genotoxicity thresholds of 0.1 uM for both glyphosate and 2,4-D in dog lymphoid cells. To date, these predicted plasma exposures have not been reached in vivo in boxer dogs with ML or unaffected control boxers. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Canine multicentric lymphoma resembles human NHL and is a potentially useful model of non-occupational chemical risk for NHL in people. The goal of this research is to identify potentially preventable non-occupational chemical risk for lymphoma and support evidence-based remediation strategies to decrease lymphoma risk in both humans and dogs.
