OBJECTIVES/GOALS: There is an imperative need to initiate translational genetic studies of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Such work requires large cohorts and no HS registries exist. Precision medicine initiatives provide new resources and methods for efficiently constructing cohorts, but empirically informed best practice guidelines are needed. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Traditional methods for building cohorts rely on clinical encounters to identify patients and collect phenotype data. Precision medicine initiatives aim to decrease the time and cost of data collection by using alternative sources, including electronic health records (EHR) and remote collection of patient-reported data. The public’s use of the Internet to obtain and exchange health-related information coupled with the success of direct-to-consumer genetic companies suggests that it is feasible to remotely ascertain research participants for genetic studies. Importantly, Internet cohorts provide an opportunity to include research participants who are disconnected from healthcare, and thus remain hidden from research that relies on EHR or clinical services. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: First, to conduct studies in EHR we are developing an analytic pipeline for the automated extraction of an accurate HS diagnosis using natural language processing of clinical notes. In our preliminary work we are also using ICD codes to build cohorts in two EHR systems with and without linked genetic data. Second, we have developed Internet advertising campaigns for symptom-based recruitment. Informed consent and patient-reported data is collected on-line through a series of short surveys. Patients who complete the surveys and express interest in participating in genetic studies are sent saliva collection kits and return mailing material. Finally, we have established an HS biobank that has DNA from 300 participants identified through clinical services. Enrollment is on going. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our goal is to assemble an HS cohort that is large enough to power genetic discoveries. Our work is generating empirical evidence for precision medicine guidelines and will improve our knowledge about HS. The methods we are developing can be applied to efficiently create new cohorts for genetic studies of other diseases across different clinical areas.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common and malignant histological subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer. While the majority of HGSOC patients initially respond to platinum-based chemotherapy, they often present with recurrent chemoresistant disease, which is extremely fatal. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify predictive biomarkers of platinum response and to develop rational, targeted therapies to improve the outcome of patients with HGSOC. The objectives of the present study are to profile and assess the clinical significance of MYC network dysregulation in HGSOC. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will conduct a retrospective cohort study of Puerto Rican Hispanics with HGSOC who underwent surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy at clinical institutions in Puerto Rico. Medical records, pathology reports, and cancer registries will be reviewed to extract data on clinicopathological features, disease recurrence, and death. For eligible patients, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples will be processed and analyzed by quantitative Real Time PCR (qRT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Expression levels of MYC and MYC-related molecules are expected to correlate with clinicopathological features and prognosis of HGSOC. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The identification and validation of clinically-relevant alterations in HGSOC, such as dysregulation of the MYC network, will be crucial to guide therapy regimen, maximize clinical benefit, and improve patient outcome.

Objectives/Goals: Translational researchers spend significant amounts of time finding available datasets and other research data resources for their purposes. Objectives of this program are develop and evaluate a multipronged approach to supporting researchers with existing data resources. Methods/Study Population: We established a dedicated service with expertise in data resources to increase awareness, understanding, and utilization of existing data resources. This program assists investigators and trainees discover appropriate data resources, formulate scientific problems in computable formats, advise on state-of-the-art data analytics, data management, build collaborations, mentor data users, and develop a service pipeline for streamlined data resource project management. This is accomplished through these essential functions: (1) Discover, catalog, document, and manage metadata resources, (2) train and present data resources to the research community, (3) provide individual consultations, and (4) explore and assess novel data resources. Results/Anticipated Results: In a phased approach, the data navigation program is performing outreach to the research community and integrating with existing data efforts on campus, presenting and demonstrating existing data resources, established a consultation service, and building core competencies into long-term usage and navigation of resources across campus. Evaluating the program monthly has shown an increase in various metrics for evaluating commitment and engagement including number of requests for access to data resource, consultations, publications and presentations, co-authorship, and proposals. Unawareness and inappropriate use of data resources leads to delays in performing research and potentially unnecessary duplications of efforts. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Our data navigation program has increased use of data resources in research. Next steps are to continue evaluation and further streamline informatics approaches to data discovery, abstraction, formulation, and analysis. Harmonized data resource programs are important translational science approach to foster the next generation of research.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The overall aim of the proposed study is to evaluate the effectiveness and clinical utility of the NMR as a biomarker of response to placebo, transdermal nicotine, and varenicline to be utilized within the clinical practice as a point-of-care predictor to tailor an individual’s smoking cessation treatment. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A 12-week phase II, stratified multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 3 treatment groups to measure treatment-seeking smokers (n-900:150 slow metabolizers; 150 normal metabolizers), randomized to 12-weeks of nicotine patch (active patch + placebo pill), varenicline (active pill + placebo patch), or placebo (placebo pill + patch). At the end of treatment, patients will be followed for 12 months. Study Population: Adult smokers 18–65 years old reported smoking≥10 cigarettes/day for≥6 months (verified by carbon monoxide (CO) >10 ppm). Drug and route of administration: RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The study would conclude the effectiveness of the interventions well defined. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The report will provide robust evidence to support the effectiveness of NRT intervention on smoking cessation.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Penetrating brain injury (PBI) differs both physiologically and in clinical outcomes when compared to blunt-force traumatic brain injury (TBI). Despite this, there are few pre-clinical models of PBI described in the literature. To address this gap, we will develop a study protocol for a systematic review. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science) will be searched using keywords and controlled vocabulary related to animal models, computational models, simulations, and disease key words including traumatic brain injury and penetrating brain injury. The primary outcome will be the method of PBI modeling. Secondary outcomes will be related to bibliographic information, computational analysis, and histochemical, radiographic, behavioral, and human clinical biomarkers and outcome measures used in PBI models. A panel of independent investigators will review publications resulting from this search strategy to identify relevant studies. The protocol will adhere to PRISMA-P guidelines. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Eligible studies will include both exploratory and descriptive research, and both quantitative and qualitative data. A summary of selected studies will be presented, and the synthesis will follow a narrative framework. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This protocol provides a framework for comprehensively evaluating pre-clinical PBI models with focus on methodology. PBI is a phenotypically unique disease and is under studied. This protocol will be of great benefit to clinicians and scientists in this emerging field and can help monitor future progress in translational research.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Children with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage are monitored closely for deterioration and need for intervention. Data on risk factors for deterioration in nonsevere head injury are limited. Our objective was to identify children with hemorrhage from non-severe head injury who are at risk for deterioration. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted a 10-site cross-sectional study of children 8. Our primary outcome was clinically important hemorrhage after injury and within 96 hours of ED arrival, defined as ED interventions (intubation, hyperosmotic agents, or neurosurgery within 4 hours of arrival) or clinically important deterioration (new or worsening signs/symptoms with an acute change in management). After testing model assumptions, we used logistic regression to identify clinical and neuroradiographic factors associated with clinically important hemorrhage. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We studied 763 children with intracranial hemorrhage, with a median (IQR) age of 3.0 (0.4, 10.5) years. Initial GCS was mild (14-15) in 89.4% (n=682) and moderate (9-13) in 10.6% (n=81). Clinically important hemorrhage was observed in 19.5% (n=149), and 7.8% (n=59) developed clinically important deterioration. Median (IQR) time to deterioration was 17.6 (4.6, 37.9) hours. In our sample, 16.3% (n=124) underwent critical interventions, 54.9% (n=419) were admitted to an ICU, and 50.1% (n=382) underwent repeat neuroimaging. We found older age (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.3, 1.9), lower GCS (OR 5.0; 95% CI 2.9, 8.5), and epidural hemorrhage (OR 3.3; 95% CI 2.0, 5.5) was associated with clinically important hemorrhage. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Clinically important hemorrhage occurred in one in five children with non-severe head injury. Clinical and neuroradiographic factors associated with ED interventions and deterioration were identified. Risk stratification algorithms using these data will be developed to assist clinicians caring for children with head injury.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Determine how a history of unpredictable foot shock in mice affects brain wide patterns of neural activation to future stressors. Additionally, we aimed to characterize how the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) is involved in the fear sensitization process. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used a mouse model of stress enhanced fear learning, where stressed mice are first subjected to a series of unpredictable foot shocks in a novel context while control mice undergo exposure to the novel context without experiencing foot shock. Mice are then left undisturbed for 28 days, following which they are exposed to a single foot shock in a novel context. Mice are tested in the second context 24 hours after single shock, and the amount of time spent frozen in the context provides a measure of fear sensitization. Whole brain patterns of activation during the second context test will be assessed via whole brain optical clearing with antibody staining of immediate early genes. The role of the PVT in fear sensitization will be characterized using chemogenetic approaches. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our preliminary results demonstrate that mice display enhanced fear acquisition long after the initial experience of unpredictable shocks. We anticipate to identify regions previously implicated in fear learning and novel regions not previously described through our brain clearing approach. In addition, we anticipate chemogenetic inhibition of the PVT will reduce freezing to an auditory cue associated with the shock in the second context but not to the context itself. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings will provide a comprehensive view of how a history of unpredictable stress affects whole brain processing of subsequent stressful experiences, and describe the role of the PVT in cued fear sensitization.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Approximately 37 million people in the U.S. have chronic kidney disease, which is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and end stage renal diseases. PPAR-αknockout (KO) mice exhibit increased renal inflammation and blood pressure. In this study, we investigated the role of PPAR-αin renal function in a mouse model of hypertension. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Male 4-month-old wild type (WT) and PPAR-αKO mice were instrumented with radio transmitters by artery canulation (Data Science Intl). This method minimizes stress and artifacts by avoiding the use of tethering, restraining, or anesthetizing the mice during data sampling. After recovery from surgery, we continuously measured mean arterial pressure (MAP) via radio telemetry in conscious ambulatory mice. After baseline MAP was established, vehicle (Veh; saline) or angiotensin II (Ang II) were infused using an osmotic minipump at a slow pressor dose (400 ng/kg/min) for 12 days. On day 12, we injected an intravenous bolus of fluorescin-sinistrin (3.74µl/g body weight) and collected 8 blood samples (20µl/sample) over 75 minutes to enable calculation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using [GFR = I/(A/α+ B/ß)]. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Similar to our prior observations, no significant (ns) differences in baseline MAP were observed between WT and PPAR-αKO mice [(mmHg): WT (n=6), 111 ± 20 vs. PPAR-αKO (n=6), 113 ± 10; ns] whereas after 12 days of the slow pressor effect of Ang II, MAP was increased in both strains [(mmHg): WT (n=8), 138 ± 11# vs. PPAR-αKO (n=8) , 156 ± 16#; #p DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: PPAR-αprotects mice from worsening hypertension and is critical to preserving GFR during normotensive conditions. Ongoing studies are further investigating how PPAR-αregulates renal function. These finding suggest therapeutics designed to increase PPAR-αactivity could have clinical benefit in chronic kidney disease.

Objectives/Goals: Upon diagnosis, patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have significant information needs. Given its recent increase in popularity, patients may use ChatGPT to access information about AML. We will examine the quality, reliability, and readability of information that ChatGPT provides in response to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about AML. Methods/Study Population: From FAQs on the top 3 patient-facing websites about AML, we derived 26 questions, written in lay terms, about AML diagnosis, treatment, prognosis, and functional impact. We queried ChatGPT-4o on 10/14/2024 using a new Google account with no prior history. We asked each question in a separate chat window once, verbatim, and without prompt engineering. After calibration, 5 oncologists independently reviewed ChatGPT responses. We assessed quality via the Global Quality Scale (GQS), scored from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) based on flow, topic coverage, and usefulness. For reliability, we assessed whether each response addresses the query and is factually accurate, elaborating on specific inaccuracies. For readability, we assessed Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Gunning Fog Index, and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook. Results/Anticipated Results: This will be a descriptive analysis of ChatGPT responses. For quality and reliability assessments, we will report Fleiss’ kappa for inter-rater reliability and expect substantial agreement or greater (≥0.61). Per prior studies in other domains, we hypothesize that ChatGPT responses will have good quality on average (i.e., GQS score near 4). We hypothesize that nearly all responses will address their query and will mostly be accurate; a minority of responses may have partial inaccuracies. Finally, we hypothesize that readability metrics will suggest that a higher educational level (e.g., college-level education) is required for comprehension. Overall, these findings will help elucidate strengths and limitations of ChatGPT for AML and guide discussion of factors patients should be aware of when using ChatGPT. Discussion/Significance of Impact: No prior study has examined the educational quality of ChatGPT for AML. Our study will detail whether patients are receiving trustworthy and meaningful information, identify misinformation, and provide guidance to oncologists when recommending information resources to patients or fielding questions that patients may raise after using ChatGPT.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: There is no objective, biologic tool to detect concussion or guide clinical management. We previously showed that saliva microRNA (miRNA) levels differ in children with concussion and may predict symptom duration. The purpose of this study was to validate the utility of saliva miRNA and define longitudinal trends during the recovery period. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We collected concussion symptom burden (SCAT-5), cognitive performance (DANA), balance measures (ClearEdge), and saliva from 150 children (7-21 years) with concussion over 5 time-points: 0-2, 3-6, 7-14, 15-29, and 30-60 days post-injury. Saliva miRNA levels within the 443 concussion samples were quantified with RNA sequencing and compared to 218 samples from age- and sex-matched controls (healthy and post-exercise participants). Non-parametric ANOVA assessed RNA levels across time-points, and between concussions/controls. Machine learning was used to build logistic regression algorithms differentiating concussions/controls, and symptomatic/recovered concussion participants. Relationships between miRNAs and concussion phenotypes were explored with Spearman’s Rank correlations. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Fifteen miRNAs differed across control and concussion participants (FDR < 0.05). Within concussion participants, all 15 miRNAs trended back toward control levels by 30-60 days post injury. A regression algorithm employing 6 of the 15 miRNAs differentiated control and concussion participants with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.78 in a training set (n = 244) and 0.84 in a naïve test set (n = 24). Similarly, 6 miRNAs were able to differentiate symptomatic (SCAT-5 symptom score > 7) and asymptomatic concussion participants with an AUC of 0.73 in a training set (n = 219) and 0.76 in a naïve test set (n = 44). Furthermore, 5 miRNAs showed significant (R > 0.3; FDR < 0.05) associations with subjective and/or objective measures of concussion-related symptoms. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Saliva miRNAs levels are altered in children with concussion, and display predictable longitudinal trends following injury. Saliva miRNA measurement represents a non-invasive, objective tool that could be rapidly assessed to provide biologic evidence for clinicians managing pediatric concussion. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: I serve as a paid consultant and scientific advisory board member for Quadrant Biosciences, who has funded a portion of this work and licensed the findings from the Penn State College of Medicine.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Within our CTSA hub, greater emphasis is on understanding innovation and human health impact of translational science writ large rather than focus on translational research projects. Our program is restructured to reflect distinguishing ethical features of translational science which are complimentary to traditional research ethics issues. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This descriptive analysis depicts the development of our ethics program as an exemplar of how to integrate into the research enterprise of an academic health science center that engages in translational research. Our relational approach is predicated on the embodiment of ethical values by all who are involved in research committed to proactive dialog, team building, and collaboration. This translational research culture is facilitated by a multidisciplinary ethics team who are embedded throughout the translational research enterprise. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our program is integrated into a translational science enterprise within a CTSA hub in four areas: relational structure (from leadership team to community engagement), education (from trainees to the research community to the public), support (through ethics consultation with multiple touchpoints in the translational science pathway), and team science (from team on-boarding and communication to D&I research of team science interventions). We have developed a research agenda examining research ethics topics that increase quality, applicability and downstream social impact of research; understanding translational science through historical and science & technologies studies lenses, and ethnographic and mixed-method approaches to understanding team science and the science of team science. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The integration of a translational ethics program provides attention to traditional research ethics issues regarding study conduct and integrity but also transcends those concerns to focus on the translational science enterprise itself through relationships, cultivating trust, team science, DEIA, and social responsibility.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: This work reveals the influence of a season of American football-related head impact exposure on two functional outcome measures in a cohort of adolescent boys, shedding light on the chronic effects of 'subconcussive head impacts.' OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To examine the influence of a season of exposure to head impacts in American football on changes in neurocognitive and oculomotor function in adolescent male athletes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participants were recruited from a local high school: the football group (FB; n = 26) was instrumented with sensor-installed mouthguards to track impact exposure during games and practices, and members of the men’s cross-country team were recruited to the control group (CON; n = 9). All participants were administered Immediate Post-concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing (ImPACT) and were assessed for near point of convergence (NPC) at pre- and post-season. Linear models will be fit for changes in the five ImPACT composite scores and NPC values, with group and one of the head impact variables as predictors for each model. In a secondary within-group analysis, correlation coefficients will be calculated for the relationships between the head impact variables and the functional change scores for the FB group. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The two groups did not differ significantly on age or number of previous concussions; the CON group had significantly lower BMI. Group assignment was significantly associated with change in NPC (p < 0.05 for all three models); no significant associations were observed for any of the head impact variables with change in NPC. Group and each of the head impact variables (total impacts, sum of peak linear acceleration [PLA], and sum of peak rotational acceleration [PRA]) were not significantly associated with change in any of the five ImPACT composite scores. Change in visual memory composite score was negatively correlated with total impacts (r = -0.37, p = 0.034) and sum of PRA (r = -0.36, p = 0.040). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Significant, albeit relatively weak, correlations between change in visual memory composite score and two head impact kinematic variables, coupled with significant increases in NPC in the FB group compared to the CON group, suggest that a season of exposure to football-related head impacts has the potential to elicit minor functional impairments.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death among men in the U.S. and over half of all prostate cancer patients receive radiation therapy (RT). RT induces double-strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA which are lethal to cells if not repaired. While potentially curative, 10% of low-risk patients and 50% of high-risk patients treated with RT still experience tumor recurrence. Thus, identification of novel therapeutic targets to enhance RT will likely reduce prostate cancer mortality. The only clinical approach to enhance RT is androgen deprivation therapy, which targets androgen receptor (AR) signaling; however, its use is limited due to systemic side effects. We recently reported that PRMT5 epigenetically activates AR which led us to investigate if targeting PRMT5 sensitizes prostate cancer to RT. The goal of this project is to determine if PRMT5 is a therapeutic target for prostate cancer radiosensitization and analyze its mechanistic role in response to radiation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To evaluate if targeting PRMT5 may sensitize prostate cancer cells to radiation, we performed a clonogenic assay of irradiated cells. To determine if PRMT5 is required for repair of radiation-induced DSBs, we performed foci analysis via immunocytochemistry. We then used RNA-seq, qPCR, western blot, and ChIP to evaluate a potential epigenetic role of PRMT5 in activating the expression of genes critical to DSB repair. To extend our findings, we analyzed clinical data from around 18,000 of cancer patients encompassing 43 cancer types to assess if PRMT5 expression correlates with the expression of its putative target genes. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Targeting PRMT5 sensitizes prostate cancer cells to radiation independently of AR status. RNA-seq analysis revealed putative PRMT5 target genes including several involved in DSB repair and G2 arrest. Mechanistically, PRMT5 functions as a master epigenetic activator of DNA damage response (DDR) genes: PRMT5 maintains the basal expression of several DDR genes including BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51 and is recruited upon radiation to DDR gene promoters to activate their expression via histone methylation. Targeting PRMT5 decreases expression of these genes at the protein level and hinders repair of radiation-induced DSBs in multiple cancer and non-cancer cell types. Clinically, PRMT5 expression positively correlates with the expression of these DDR genes across all 43 cancer types analyzed. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: PRMT5 acts as a master epigenetic activator of genes involved in DDR and is critical for cells to survive radiation treatment. Importantly, PRMT5 epigenetically activates multiple genes that encode for well-characterized core repair proteins involved in HR (RAD51, RAD51AP1, RAD51D, BRCA1 and BRCA2) and NHEJ (NHEJ1, Ku80, XRCC4, and DNAPKcs), which may explain why PRMT5 is essential to repair IR-induced DSBs in several cell lines. As PRMT5 is overexpressed in many human cancers and its overexpression correlates with poor prognosis, our findings suggest that more efficient DSB repair via PRMT5 overexpression in these cancers may confer survival advantages particularly following DNA damaging treatments. Lastly, because targeting DSB repair is a clinically validated therapeutic approach for cancer treatment, our findings also suggest that PRMT5 targeting may be explored as a monotherapy or in combination therapy with radiation therapy or chemotherapy for cancer treatment.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Implementing a team science approach with broad engagement from academic researchers, healthcare payers, providers, patients, and community-based organizations is complex, yet critical to implementing evidence into real world settings. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: 1. Participants will be able to deploy novel strategies for creating and training a regional multi-stakeholder consortium to improve the quality and value of healthcare.

2. Participants will be to examine ways in which team science provides holistic sustainable strategies to improve care and outcomes in real-world settings. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Quality & Value Innovation Consortium (QVIC) has created a network of hospitals and other stakeholders (providers, payers, purchasers, patients, community-based organizations, and researchers) to collaborate and innovate on healthcare delivery. This initiative began with a team of a physician researcher, a health services researcher, and a nurse researcher first identifying healthcare systems’ priorities through individual meetings with leadership from 14 regional hospitals. Concurrently, meetings were held with other stakeholders. These interviews identified 32 key quality improvement topics.

Focus groups and surveys reduced these to 11 topics that were then selected for community forums. Through a mixed methods approach, two priority topics were selected for regional implementation. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The QVIC meetings have prioritized two topics and highlighted novel information sharing across entities, and strategies to address the social determinants of health. The QVIC efforts have been recognized as a community asset for helping build collaboration and partnerships among diverse stakeholders. Ultimately, two regional initiatives, opioid management, and transitions in heart failure care were selected for implementation. Both of these initiatives aim to reduce readmissions by addressing social determinants of health. Implementation strategies and evaluation metrics are being customized for pragmatic integration within each system, utilizing a collaborative team science approach. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: While the entire country is grappling with the challenge of improving the quality of care, while lowering its costs, Kansas City has modeled a unique culture and strategy for achieving this goal, important for learning health systems and communities.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Our objective is to characterize excitatory, inhibitory, and neuromodulatory components of the voluntary motor command at the level of the spinal motoneuron in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). This information will provide insight into neural mechanisms of motor dysfunction and their heterogeneity among patients with MS. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Due to advances in high-density surface EMG (HDsEMG) decomposition and the recent development of a paradigm for reverse engineering of motor unit population discharge, we can feasibly estimate aspects of excitatory, inhibitory, and neuromodulatory components of the voluntary motor command in humans on a person-specific basis. We tested 11 ambulatory patients with MS and mild-moderate disability. We recorded HDsEMG from tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SOL) during isometric plantarflexion and dorsiflexion, performed as slow triangle contractions. EMG was decomposed into motor unit spike trains using blind source separation. We calculated a number of motor unit variables, most notably delta-F, which estimates motoneuron excitability and the balance of neuromodulatory and inhibitory inputs. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: There were consistent differences in MS patients vs. controls. For TA, values were decreased for delta-F (3.9 vs. 5.9 pps), initial firing rate acceleration (5.8 vs. 7.1 pps), firing rate range (9.3 vs. 11.9 pps), and max firing rate (12.3 vs. 15.0 pps). SOL had more modest decreases in delta-F (3.0 vs. 3.8 pps) and firing rate range (4.8 vs. 5.6 pps). Self-sustained firing was longer for MS patients. Within a patient, abnormalities in motor unit variables were not consistent across muscles and legs. Interestingly, there were several abnormalities in the patients with a normal clinical motor exam, indicating that perhaps our measures are sensitive to subclinical changes in processing of voluntary motor commands. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Excitatory, inhibitory, and neuromodulatory components of the voluntary motor command must be appropriately balanced for skilled motor output. This study is the first to characterize how they are disrupted in MS, providing foundational information to inform the development of mechanistically-based rehabilitation interventions.

Objectives/Goals: This study examines associations between childhood violence exposure, accelerated biological aging, and adolescent depression using DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks. Findings aim to identify biomarkers for early detection, guide interventions, and address youth mental health disparities. Methods/Study Population:Data from the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study (N = 4,898), a diverse urban U.S. cohort, were analyzed. Childhood violence exposure, assessed using the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scale, included measures of physical, emotional, and psychological aggression and neglect. Biological aging at age 15 was evaluated using second-generation epigenetic clocks derived from saliva DNA methylation patterns, while depressive symptoms were measured with the CES-D scale. Multiple linear regression models tested associations between early violence exposure, epigenetic aging, and depressive symptoms, adjusting for socioeconomic status, caregiver mental health, and other key covariates. Results/Anticipated Results: Preliminary results suggest that early violence exposure may be linked to accelerated biological aging and depressive symptoms during adolescence, a critical developmental period. Epigenetic clocks offer an objective method for identifying high-risk youth, complementing mental health evaluations. With further validation and participatory action research, these findings could guide the development of biomarkers for longitudinal testing in school-based screenings and community health programs. These tools aim to be accessible, culturally relevant, and tailored to diverse populations, enhancing early detection, informing personalized interventions, and supporting scalable clinical applications. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This study explores links between early adversity, biological aging, and mental health, advancing understanding of adolescent depression. Epigenetic biomarkers could improve risk detection and guide tailored interventions in schools and community settings, enhancing access and reducing disparities.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: It has been previously shown that pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) survival is different between sexes. We set out to find out whether there are sex-specific differences in the genomic landscapes of pHGG that may underlie this sex disparity. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We downloaded Illumina 450k DNAm data from ArrayExpress and GeneExpressionOmnibus. The minfi package was used to process raw DNAm data. Sex chromosomes and CpGs that are common SNPs were removed. Surrogate variables (SVs) were estimated via the sva Bioconductor package. Differentially methylated CpGs were identified by fitting a multiple linear regression model for the DNAm level at each CpG, with independent variables being sex (a binary variable) and the estimated SVs. RNAseq data was downloaded from Cavatica, and differential gene expression analysis was carried out via the DESeq2 package. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In the pediatric glioblastoma (GBM) DNAm data [58 female & 91 male IDH wt samples; ages 0.1–21 yrs;], we found 7,371 differentially methylated cytosines (DMCs) at FDR≤0.05. Of the DMCs, 289 had DNAm differences between male and female samples ≥10%. The majority of probes (68%) were in CpG islands, shelves, or shores. We also found 4 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between sexes (FWER≤0.1). In the adult GBM DNAm samples [32 F & 32 M IDH wt samples; ages 22–75 yrs], we found only 117 DMCs at FDR≤0.05, and no DMRs. In the RNAseq dataset [68 F & 54 M pHGG samples, ages 0.08–30.6 yrs], we found 383 differentially expressed genes (at FDR≤0.05), and 16 of them (4%) overlapped a DMC. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our findings demonstrate that pHGG exhibits sex-specific methylome differences. Interestingly, this difference is greater in the pediatric population as compared to adults. The pHGG transcriptome also differs by sex, which may be related to differential DNAm in a minority of cases.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: While mutant TP53 is an attractive therapeutic target in TNBC, attempts to target the mutant p53 protein directly have failed. Thus, we aim to identify pathways critical for the survival of TP53 mutant cells that can be targeted in TNBC. We have identified Kif11 as one such target and aim to further investigate its function in TP53 mutant TNBC. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We conducted a dual in silico/in vivo screen that identified Kif11 inhibition as preferentially inhibiting the growth of TP53 mutant TNBC. We obtained data on TP53 mutational status, KIF11 mRNA expression levels, and clinical characteristics from TCGA, METABRIC, and CCLE datasets. We treated breast cancer cell lines with the KIF11 inhibitor SB-743921. Cell counts were obtained through staining with DAPI or Hoechst and imaging on the ImageXPress PICO. We detected cell death by DRAQ7 staining and flow cytometry analysis following Annexin V-PI staining. To investigate mitotic spindle organization, we performed immunofluorescent staining with an anti-tubulin antibody and DAPI co-staining. Cell cycle analysis was performed through flow cytometry. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: KIF11 is highly expressed in TP53 mutant and TNBC clinical samples. High KIF11 expression is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. Kif11 inhibition suppresses growth of both TP53 mutant and wild-type breast cancer cells, but preferentially induces the death of TP53 mutant cells as detected by DRAQ7 and Annexin V/PI staining. Kif11 inhibition induces a G2-M block and growth inhibition in TP53 wild-type cells. On the other hand, following treatment with the Kif11 inhibitor SB-743921, TP53 mutant cells undergo mitotic spindle dysfunction leading to the formation of multinucleated cells and cell death. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These results demonstrate that Kif11 is a promising therapeutic target in aggressive, TP53 mutant TNBCs. Kif11 inhibitors, including SB-743921, have been tested in human trials, and are well tolerated, but it is unclear which patients would most benefit. Our studies show that Kif11 inhibitors may be most useful in patients with TP53 mutant TNBCs.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Drugs to attenuate aortic growth are usually not initiated in patients with Marfan syndrome until aortic dilation is already present. Therefore, we measured the impact of drugs (the renin-angiotensin system inhibitors losartan and enalapril) on survival and thoracic aortic growth in a mouse model of Marfan syndrome when extensive aortic dilation was already present. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Male and female fibrillin-1 hypomorphic (FBN1 mgR/mgR) mice (n=10-12/group) were stratified into treatment groups by aortic diameter at 6 weeks of age to ensure an equivalent average aortic diameter in each group at the start of the study. Osmotic mini pumps filled with PBS (vehicle), enalapril (2 mg/kg/d), or losartan (20 mg/kg/d) were implanted subcutaneously into mice after stratification. Mini pumps infusing drug or vehicle were replaced every 4 weeks for a total duration of 12 weeks. Wild type littermates (n=10) were infused with PBS as a negative control to the Marfan mouse model. Ascending aortic diameters from male and female FBN1 mgR/mgR mice and their wild type littermates were assessed by ultrasound every 4 weeks from 6 to 18 weeks of age. Aortic diameters were measured luminal edge to luminal edge during diastole. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 6 week old FBN1 mgR/mgR mice exhibited significantly dilated ascending thoracic aortas at study initiation compared to their wild type sex-matched littermates (in males: FBN1 mgR/mgR = 1.87 +/− 0.07mm, wild type = 1.23 +/− 0.07mm; p <0.001) (in females: FBN1 mgR/mgR = 1.56 +/− 0.07mm, wild type = 1.18 +/− 0.07mm; p <0.001). Baseline mortality of FBN1 mgR/mgR mice infused with PBS was 36% in male and 22% in female mice at the time of study termination. Within sex-matched mgR littermates, there was no significant difference in survival between groups treated with PBS, enalapril, or losartan after 12 weeks (p=0.224 for males, p=0.094 in females). In the same groups, no significant difference in maximum ascending aortic diameter was detected after treatment for 12 weeks (in males: PBS=2.69 +/− 0.19 mm, enalapril=2.04 +/− 0.27 mm, losartan=2.42 +/− 0.28 mm; p=0.24) (in females: PBS = 1.92 +/− 0.13, enalapril=1.89 +/− 0.31, losartan=1.98 +/− 0.17; p=0.86). Furthermore, aortic diameters in the FBN1 mgR/mgR mice were found to demonstrate sexual dimorphism. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This research shows that losartan is not effective when administered after significant thoracic aortic dilation has already occurred in FBN1 mgR/mgR mice. This has important translational implications because losartan is usually not started in patients with Marfan syndrome until significant aortic dilation is already present. Therefore, more research needs to be done to determine the critical time period within which this medicine will be effective if given to patients. In addition, this research demonstrates that male FBN1mgR/mgR mice have a significantly larger aortic diameter than female FBN1mgR/mgR mice. This sexual dimorphism has recently been observed in patients with Marfan syndrome as well. Additional studies for understanding the mechanism underlying this sexual dimorphism have the potential to elucidate new therapeutic approaches for aortic disease.

Effective mentoring is a key mechanism propelling successful research and academic careers, particularly for early career scholars. Most mentoring programs focus on models pairing senior and early career researchers, with limited focus on peer mentoring. Peer mentoring may be especially advantageous within emerging areas such as implementation science (IS) where challenges to traditional mentoring may be more prevalent. This special communication highlights the value of peer mentoring by describing a case study of an early career IS peer mentoring group. We delineate our curriculum and structure; support and processes; and products and outcomes. We highlight important group member characteristics to consider during group formation and continuation. The group’s long-term (6 years) success was attributed to the balance of similarities and differences among group members. Members were in a similar career phase and used similar methodologies but studied different health topics at different institutions. Group members gave and received instrumental and psychosocial support and shared resources and knowledge. Peer mentoring can serve an important function to provide emotional, logistical, and professional development support for early career scholars. Our case study highlights strategies to foster peer mentoring groups that provide a generalizable blueprint and opportunity for improved outcomes for early career professionals.
