OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Caregivers of patients with ventricular assist devices (VAD) are invaluable contributors to patient health, but they may experience psychological symptoms or worsening quality of life related to caregiving. We aimed to explore VAD caregiving burden and resilience comparing high and low burden patient-caregiver dyads. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Using a convergent mixed-methods design, we conducted semi-structured interviews and collected self-reported surveys from patient-caregiver dyads. Patients (n=10, mean age 55.8 years) were mostly white males implanted as destination therapy. Caregivers (n=10, mean age 52.6) were mostly white females. Most dyads were spousal (n=6). Caregiver burden was measured with the Zarit Burden Interview Scale, using the median score to categorize lower and higher burden dyads (median = 12, IQR = 8). Data were analyzed using deductive and inductive coding for thematic analysis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Lower and higher burden dyads described the shared burden experience of 1) hyper-vigilance and uncertainty immediately post-implant and 2) changing relationship roles. Lower burden dyads were more likely to able to take on responsibilities outside of caregiving. Contextual differences among higher burden dyads included higher financial strain, less social support, worse quality of life (both patients and caregivers) and worse heart failure severity compared to lower burden dyads. All dyads were resilient, using coping strategies like cognitive reframing, positivity, and adaptation to new roles. Higher burden dyads were more vulnerable to coping fatigue and were more likely to express that the VAD had irreversibly changed their life. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: VAD caregiver-patient dyads differ in their levels of caregiver burden. Burden experiences and resilience mechanisms may inform future interventions to reduce caregiver burden in diverse VAD dyads. Knowledge of the caregiver experience and factors contributing to burden can inform the healthcare team in providing essential caregiver support.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Identifying an important pathway in treatment resistant TNBC will allow for the future development of clinical therapeutics specific for this disease. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer characterized by negative expression of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2/neu amplification. It resists therapies and has a high recurrence rate after resection. The goal of my research is to identify & characterize a TNBC pathway for future development of therapies. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The project uses a combination of cell lines, patient derived xenograft (PDX) models, as well as patient databases. Standard cellular and molecular biology techniques will be used including: Cell culture, qPCR, western blotting, and flow cytometry. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: LKB1 is a master kinase that activates 14 possible downstream kinases. The signaling pathway has been demonstrated to play a role in energy homeostasis and metabolism. Mutation of LKB1 signaling results in Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and is associated with neoplasias of the lung, pancreas, and breast. Based on preliminary analysis, overexpression of LKB1 by shRNA in TNBC cell lines results in suppression of EMT and reduction of the cancer stem cell population. Additional studies show that LKB1 overexpression has no effect on growth rate in 2D culture while significant reduction in 3D mammosphere formations can be seen. Downstream studies using commercially available SIK1 inhibitor HG-9-91-01 is able to induce a larger fraction of CSC from reduced LKB1 overexpression as well as from baseline levels. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Overall, our results suggest that LKB1 acts through SIK1 to suppress EMT and the generation of cancer stem cells. This results in reduced cancer functionality, as evidenced by inhibition of mammosphere formation. These results establishes a foundation for future mechanistic studies on the LKB1 axis and its mechanisms in TNBC.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Determine if synthetic or endogenously produced butyrate can delay Parkinson’s disease (PD) progression, attenuate PD associated GI dysfunction, and impact the gut-microbiota in mice expressing human mutant aSyn. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Two transgenic mouse models expressing human mutant alpha-synuclein (aSyn) will be used. Transgenic mice expressing aSyn A53T display GI dysfunction before motor deficit onset and will be used to investigate treatment impact on PD associated GI dysfunction. Mice expressing aSyn Y39C more accurately recapitulate age-related neuropathology and behavioral deficits and will be used to assess treatment impact on PD-associated neuropathology, motor, and cognitive function. Mice will receive a synthetic sodium butyrate, sodium phenylbutyrate, or a synbiotic treatment regimen for 3 months. Disease progression will be assessed by aSyn brain and gut neuropathology, brain and gut inflammatory status, behavioral deficits, and gastrointestinal function. In addition, fecal and gut-microbiota composition and neuroprotective gene expression in the brain will be investigated. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our preliminary data shows that both sodium butyrate and sodium phenylbutyrate delay disease progression in aSyn Y39C mice. Butyrate-treated mice have reduced aSyn oligomerization, reduced Lewy body formation, and improved motor and cognitive function compared to placebo-treated mice. 16S rRNA sequencing did not reveal fecal-microbiota shifts between treatment groups or with age progression. Further analysis assessing expression levels for genes with anti-oxidant and protein degradation roles will be performed to determine if sodium butyrate and sodium phenylbutyrate similarly impact cellular mechanisms to delay neurodegeneration. Our future experiments will focus on comparing sodium butyrate and synbiotic treatment outcomes in aSyn A53T mice. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our lab developed a Tg mouse model that more accurately recapitulate age-related symptoms, pathology, and mechanisms observed in PD patients compared with animal models onset by neurotoxins. Our use of an age-dependent model of a severe form of Parkinsonism, DLB, will better predict clinical outcomes in PD populations. We will be the first to assess if elevating select microbial product production enhances neuroprotective brain activity in a PD model. Results obtained will further characterize gut-brain axis communication mechanisms. These proposed experiments will be the first to determine if elevating microbial products improves GI deficits associated with PD and may lead to insight on the gut-brain axis role in PD. Overall, this proposal will be the first to investigate a novel, highly accessible treatment with the potential to delay PD progression and target motor, cognitive, and GI deficits associated with PD. Due to the current FDA approval of probiotics and prebiotics that enhance butyrate production, results obtained may be quickly translated for clinical use.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Utilize polymer-based fiber scaffolds and machine learning methods applied to patient biomarker data to enhance and personalize T cell expansion and production for T cell therapy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Scaffolds are 1) generated from a co-polymer blend of PDMS and PCL with controlled fiber diameters and pore size, 2) coated with activating antibodies to CD3 and CD28, and 3) used to stimulate T cells from both healthy donors and CLL patients. CLL patients have pre-annotated mutation burdens and clinical biomarkers. T cell populations will be analyzed for exhaustion markers and phenotypes before, during, and after expansion. Cell functionality will be measured by cytokine secretion, cell cycle analysis, and fold expansion, with respect to platform parameters, and analyzed with inputs of disease markers and exhaustion profile of isolated T cells using regression and random forest classifiers. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We previously showed that engineering the mechanical rigidity of activating substrates can enhance and rescue T cell expansion from exhausted populations. Now we aim to study a broader range of compositions and geometry of scaffolds with respect to capacity to expand CLL T cells. Preliminary data with fiber diameters ranging from 300 nm to 6 um confirm the effect of geometry in modulating expansion. A biorepository of T cells from 80 CLL patients have been isolated concurrently. Anticipated results include correlating exhaustion profile of T cells with clinical biomarkers and identifying markers associated with expansion on panel of platform parameters. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: T cell therapy has shown particular promise in treating blood cancers, yet significant percentage of T cells isolated from patients undergoing treatments are unresponsive to activation. A powerful tool is to predict if and how patient T cells can be robustly expanded on a personalized approach.

Objectives/Goals: We aim to establish a systematic approach to distinguish translational science from translational research. Our goal is to create a simple tool that would enable individuals with different backgrounds and levels of expertise to readily determine whether a study truly features translational science. Methods/Study Population: Participants were recruited from a Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program hub and randomly divided into 2 groups. One group was asked, with minimal guidance, to categorize whether publications described translational science or translational research. The group met to resolve disagreements and identify key indicators and challenges in determining whether a study involves translational science. They provided input on a set of guiding questions intended to facilitate the identification of translational science. The second group did not participate in discussion or tool development. Both groups reviewed a new set of publications, using the tool to guide their assessments. Results/Anticipated Results: Based on publication assessments, we will assess the percent agreement among reviewers in each group for each publication and across the set. We anticipate that the first group will exhibit higher agreement for its second round of review than its first, owing to the benefit of discussion with colleagues and provision of guiding questions. We anticipate that the tool will also promote higher agreement among the second group in their first round of review. We predict that both groups will exhibit high rates of agreement when reviewing with the support of guiding questions. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This study will help us understand interpretations of translational science, a term that has sparked debate and disagreement within CTSA hubs. If successful, the guiding questions will provide CTSAs a tool to improve training, proposal responsiveness, and review for translational science projects.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Psoriasis is one of the most common inflammatory diseases of the skin, affecting about 2%–3% of the US population. Despite its high prevalence, its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. The ability of the microbiome to modify host immunity and metabolism suggests that it may contribute to the development of psoriasis and its cardiometabolic comorbidities. This study aims to characterize the psoriatic skin microbiome and understand the functional role that these bacteria may play. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 16s rRNA sequencing of site-matched skin swabs from 8 psoriasis patients and 8 healthy controls was used to identify bacteria and determine their relative abundance and microbial community diversity in the sample. PICRUSt was used to infer the functional roles of the bacteria from 16s rRNA amplicon data. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Lesional psoriasis skin had lower α diversity (p=0.04), less Actinobacteria (p=0.0001), but higher Firmicutes (p=0.009) compared with controls. At the genus level, lesional skin had more Alloiococcus (p=0.01) and Aerococcus (p=0.01) and demonstrated a trend towards lower Propionibacterium (p=0.08) and higher Gallicola (p=0.09) compared to controls. Interestingly, Alloiococcus (p=0.003) and Gallicola (p=0.04) were also higher in nonlesional skin compared with controls. Furthermore, lesional and nonlesional skin shared an increased abundance of Acinetobacter sp., Staphylococcus pettenkoferi, and Streptococcus sp., relative to controls. Lesional and nonlesional psoriasis skin did not differ significantly in microbiome composition. Predictive functional analysis revealed that both the healthy and psoriatic skin microbiome were enriched with bacteria capable of amino acid and carbohydrate metabolism suggest these functions might have a general role in host-microbe interaction. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: These data reveal intriguing differences in the cutaneous microbiome of psoriatic individuals and healthy controls and suggest that bacterial metabolism may play an important role in host-microbe interaction.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Our data reveal a histone modifying enzyme involved in regulating inflammation that may be a novel target for treating non-healing diabetic wounds. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We investigate molecular mechanisms that regulate the inflammatory phenotype of macrophages in normal and diabetic wound healing. Our goal is to identify novel pathways that may be used to better treat diabetic patients with non-healing wounds. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We utilize normal and transgenic murine models on standard chow or high-diet to identify chromatin modifying enzymes involved in regulating macrophage function during wound healing. We validate our murine studies with human blood monocytes or wound macrophages from diabetic patients undergoing limb amputation surgery. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We have identified the histone methyltransferase SETDB2 as a regulator inflammation in normal and diabetic wound macrophages. We found that SETDB2 was dependent on IFNβ singaling and that both IFNβ and Setdb2 expression were impaired in diabetic wound macrophages. Further, we show that SETDB2 regulates inflammatory response and immune cell trafficking pathways. We also show that SETDB2 genomic localization is dependent on *NFκΒ deposition of the promoter. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Our results indicate that SETDB2 is a regulator of macrophage plasticity and that SETDB2 expression is impaired in diabetic wound macrophages leading to hyper-inflammatory response and delayed wound healing. These data provide a novel potential therapeutic pathway for treating non-healing diabetic wounds.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: A disease-agnostic translational science framework for data mining is proposed for use across disciplines to: Answer clinical questions, justify future clinical research recruitment, and explore under-represented populations. As a case example, male puberty demonstrates utility of the framework. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: As a case example using the generalizable framework, the following interdisciplinary question was asked: Does early pubertal timing increase the risk of developing type II diabetes (T2d) in boys? A digital phenotype of males < 18 years old was created in the TriNetX Diamond Network utilizing Boolean operator data queries. TriNetX contains patient electronic health record information (ICD-10 diagnoses, anthropometric measures). A case control analysis leveraging patient counts from various digital phenotypes allowed for outcome (T2d) comparison of boys diagnosed with precocious puberty (E30.1, ICD code for early pubertal timing) to those without, while controlling for body mass index (BMI). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Subjects (N=12,996,132) displayed the following digital phenotype: Male, < 18 years old, without ever having a BMI documented >85th percentile. Boys diagnosed with precocious puberty (E30.1) were 6.89 times more likely to develop T2d when aged 14-18 years old than those without (OR 6.89, 95%CI: 5.17-9.19, p. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Boys are under-represented in the early pubertal timing literature, justifying future human subjects research on male puberty. This case example demonstrates a broader disease-agnostic framework which can be adapted across disciplines. Opportunities may include public health digital phenotyping.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Hepatitis C viral (HCV) infections are rising significantly both in young adults and as newly diagnosed cases in “baby boomers.” New HCV therapeutics cure over 95% of cases, and a call has been made for elimination of the epidemic by 2030; yet major HCV cascade of care (CoC) barriers exist. We secured CTSA pilot funding to obtain preliminary data for an innovative clinical trial utilizing big data modeling toward HCV elimination. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Our pilot work has developed a coordinated, real-time clinical data management process across 3 major CTSA affiliated hospital systems (MedStar Health, Emory-Grady, and UT-Southwestern), and additional data will be obtained from a pragmatic clinical trial. Electronic medical records data will be mapped to the OHDSI model, securely transmitted to Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Knoxville, TN and exposed to integrated data, analytics, modeling and simulation (IDAMS). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our U01 CTSA application proposes that HCV-IDAMS will model modifications to the established HCV CoC at community and population levels and thus simulate future outcomes. As data volume increases, system knowledge will expand and recursive applications of IDAMS will increase the accuracy of our models. This will reveal real-world reactions contingent upon population dynamics and composition, geographies, and local applications of the HCV CoC. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Only an innovative, integrated approach harnessing pragmatic clinical data, big data and supercomputing power can create a realistic model toward HCV elimination.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Objective: To summarize the diagnosis and management of two acute rejection (AR) episodes in the first penis transplant patient in the U.S. Background: Vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA) has been utilized for state-of-the-art reconstruction of devastating craniofacial defects, limb loss, and recently, severe genitourinary defects. To date, more than 200 VCA’s have been performed, of which four successful penis transplants have been achieved worldwide (Two in the U.S.). However, despite the technical success of VCAs in general, acute rejection episodes remain a significant postoperative management problem, with 80-85% experiencing at least one episode in the first-year post-transplantation. The incorporation of skin in VCAs, which is highly immunogenic, allows early visible recognition of rejection but requires prompt management to prevent allograft failure as well as the progression of chronic rejection, which has been associated with the frequency of acute rejection episodes in preclinical models. We present the first report of acute rejection in a penile allograft. AR episodes in VCA typically manifest with erythema of the allograft skin and/or maculopapular lesions that can be either patchy, focal or diffuse. Histopathologic assessment is essential for diagnosis and management. The Banff classification of histopathologic criteria for degree of AR is most commonly utilized to direct clinical management. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We reviewed the clinical course of the first American patient who underwent penis transplantation at Massachusetts General Hospital in 2016. Postoperatively, routine clinical and chemical assessment (immunosuppression levels, routine blood work) was performed, with increased frequency during AR episodes. Skin punch biopsies were obtained during (suspected) AR episodes, analyzed and graded according to the Banff 2007 classification of rejection of skin-containing composite allografts. Histopathologic tissue assessment included CD3, C4d, CD4/8, CD20 FOXP3 and cellular infiltration (hyper keratinization, lymphocytic infiltrate, dermal erosion, macrophage, eosinophilia, T-cell infiltration) and epidermal or perivascular fibrosis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The patient is a 65-year-old male with history of penile carcinoma requiring subtotal penectomy in 2012. He is currently 30-months post penile transplantation (as of 11/15/2018). First Rejection Episode: At 28 days post-transplantation, the patient noted induration, swelling and erythema of the allograft, which was diagnosed as AR clinically (Image 1A). Biopsy showed a Banff Grade III AR, with focal keratinocyte apoptosis with lymphocytic infiltration in epidermis and arteriolar endothelialitis with perivascular inflammation. Initially this episode was treated for 2 days with 2 pulse doses of methylprednisolone (500mg/d IV) with clinical improvement. However, recurrent allograft erythema was observed on postoperative day 32 and an acute rejection grade III according the Banff classification was confirmed by a second biopsy that demonstrated epidermal perivascular lymphocytic infiltrates, spongiosis and dyskeratosis, deep dermis focal lymphocytic infiltrates and focal infiltrates in arterioles as well as endothelialitis in venules. Donor specific antibodies and C4d were negative. CD3+ T cells were present in the epidermis and perivascular space. This was treated with anti-thymocyte globulin (thymoglobulin) course for 4 days (1.5mg/kg/day IV) and 3 more pulse doses of methylprednisolone (500mg/d IV.), followed by a prednisone (250mg/d) taper to baseline. This resulted in complete resolution of AR. Second Rejection Episode: At 10.8 months post VCA the patient presented with penile erythema and scrotal swelling suggestive of AR and received three doses of methylprednisolone (day 1: 500mg/d IV, day 2: 1000mg/d IV and day 3: 500mg/d IV respectively) followed by increased baseline prednisone (10mg PO daily; increased dose compared to previous AR episode). A skin biopsy confirmed Banff Grade III AR. Compared to the previous biopsy, this biopsy demonstrated an increased density of lymphocytic inflammation of the dermis with endarteritis. Prominent involvement of epidermis and adnexal structures corresponding to acute T-cell mediated rejection was also observed (Figure 1). Donor specific antibodies and C4d were again negative. Three doses of ATG (1.5mg/kg/day IV) were administered. In addition, tacrolimus was increased and local tacrolimus (1% ointment) treatment was begun. Clinical signs of rejection improved and repeat biopsy showed dramatic histopathological improvement. Current maintenance immunosuppressive regimen consists of tacrolimus, sirolimus, prednisone, mycophenolic mofetil acid (MMF), rapamycin, and tacrolimus ointment, with no new clinical or histopathological signs of rejection (Image 1B). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: We report the first described case of acute T-cell mediated rejection in penile transplantation. These rejection episodes demonstrated that, even on stringent immunosuppressive regimens, severe acute rejection episodes in VCA may still occur. Edema and acute induration preceded the development of erythema in our cases, representing a harbinger for the more severe grade of rejection that eventually developed. Our experience was consistent with other VCAs in that donor specific antibodies did not develop, despite a severe Banff Grade. Consistent use of topical calcineurin inhibitor based immunosuppression on the allograft skin may be helpful in warding off future episodes, as our patient has been rejection free now for 18 months. To date, no histologic signs of chronic rejection were present on 2-year protocol surveillance biopsy. We have added rapamycin to the current drug regimen, with concurrent reduction of tacrolimus dosing for renal protection, which has been demonstrated in cardiac transplantation to deter the intimal hyperplasia/vasculopathy associated with chronic rejection.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Normal fear learning produces avoidance behavior that promotes survival, but excessive and persistent fear after trauma can lead to development of phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our goal is to understand the mechanism and identify novel genetic targets underlying fear responses. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Involvement of the amygdala in fear acquisition is well established and requires activation of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptors (NMDARs). At a cellular level, NMDAR activation leads to production of nitric oxide (NO) by a process mediated by interaction between postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS). To elucidate mechanisms underlying the role of the PSD95-nNOS-NO pathway in conditioned fear, here we use rodent behavioral paradigms, pharmacological treatment with a small molecular PSD95-nNOS inhibitor, co-immunoprecipitation, Western blotting, and RNA-sequencing. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We show that fear conditioning enhances the PSD95-nNOS interaction and that the small-molecule ZL006 inhibits this interaction. Treatment with ZL006 also attenuates rodent cued-fear consolidation and prevents fear-mediated shifts in glutamatergic receptor and current densities in the basolateral amygdala (BLA). With RNA-sequencing, expression of 516 genes was altered in the BLA following fear expression; of these genes, 83 were restored by systemic ZL006 treatment. Network data and gene ontology enrichment analysis with Ingenuity Pathway Analysis and DAVID software found that cell-cell interaction, cognition-related pathways, and insulin-like growth factor binding were significantly altered. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our results reveal novel genetic targets that underlie plasticity of fear-memory circuitry via their contribution of NMDAR-mediated fear consolidation and can inform future strategies for targeting fear related disorders like PTSD. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DESCRIPTION: Anantha Shekhar and Yvonne Lai are co-founders of Anagin, Inc., which is developing some of the related molecules for the treatment of PTSD.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To determine the signs, symptoms, and diagnoses that are significantly upregulated in cases of long COVID while identifying risk factors and demographics that increase one’s likelihood of developing long COVID. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a retrospective, big data science study. Data from Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers across the United States between the start of 2020 and the end of 2022 were utilized. Our cohort consists of 316,782 individuals with positive COVID-19 tests recorded in the VA EHR with a history of ICD10-CM diagnosis codes in the record for case-control comparison. We looked at all new diagnoses that were not present in the six months before COVID diagnosis but were present in the time period from one month after COVID through seven months after. We determined which were significantly enriched and calculated odds ratios for each, organized by long COVID subtypes by medical specialty / affected organ system. Demographic analyses were also performed for long COVID patients and patients without any new long COVID ICD10-CM codes. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: This profile shows disorders that are highly upregulated in the post-COVID population and provides strong evidence for a broad definition of long COVID. By breaking this into subtypes by medical specialty, we define cardiac long COVID, neurological long COVID, pulmonary long COVID, and eight others. The long COVID cohort was older with more comorbidities than their non-long COVID counterparts. We also noted any differences regarding sex, race, ethnicity, severity of acute COVID-19 symptoms, vaccination status, as well as some analysis regarding medications taken. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This profile can be utilized to decisively define long COVID as a clinical diagnosis and will lead to consistence in future research. Elucidating an actionable model for long COVID will help clinicians identify those in their care that may be experiencing long COVID, allowing them to be admitted into more intensive monitoring and treatment programs.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: Gaining a better understanding on the role of opioids in opioid use disorder (OUD) can help us find better diagnostics, treatments, and procedures to treat the disorder. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: While we are familiar with brain areas and pathways that are implicated in opioid use disorder (OUD), we do not have a full understanding of the neural circuits activated upon drug exposure. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In order to identify areas of the brain most activated by opioids, we ran a pilot study using transgenic cFos-GFP mice that were injected with saline or heroin and examined the brain-wide activity patterns using a quantitative high-resolution mapping method. We observed many brain regions highly activated upon drug exposure. To examine cFos based brain activation in rats, we also ran a pilot study using a tissue clearing and 3D immunolabeling method combined with light sheet microscopy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We would expect to see higher cFos activation for brain areas in the reward pathway [including the Nucleus Accumbens (NAc), Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA), Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)] in heroin animals compared to saline animals. We can also expect higher activation in more novel areas like the lateral hypothalamus. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: If we are able to track OUD effects through imaging in mice and rats, this can help us find better diagnostics, therapeutics, and procedures to treat the disorder. We can also eventually have a human brain atlas that outlines these affected areas as well in order to gain a better understanding on OUD particularly in the human population.

Objectives/Goals: Our lab’s novel adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) significantly improves survival in brain tumor models. However, there is a lack of biomarkers to assess immunotherapy responses. Our objective is to use gold nanorods to track hematopoietic stem cell migration, a critical arm of ACT, and validate it as a prognostic biomarker. Methods/Study Population: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were isolated from the bone marrow of 6-week-old C57BL/6J mice and co-cultured with varying gold nanorod (GNR) concentrations and time points. GNR uptake in HSCs was evaluated with inductive coupled plasma mass spectrometry, two-photon luminescence, and tissue histology. After GNR co-culture, HSC viability and differentiation were quantified with flow cytometry and colony forming unit assays. To evaluate the impact of GNRs on HSC reconstitution, mice received myeloablative total body irradiation and intravenously received GNR-labeled HSCs. Computed tomography (CT) contrast of GNRs will be confirmed through microCT. Lastly, mice will intracranially receive KR158b glioma and GNR-labeled HSC bio-distribution will be measured after ACT and correlated with survival outcomes. Results/Anticipated Results: We have demonstrated that GNRs are readily taken up by HSCs within 30 minutes, and retained within intracellular compartments, via TPL. Incubation of GNRs with HSCs did not significantly alter cell viability or differentiation, supporting the GNR’s favorable biosafety profile. Colony-forming unit assays revealed that GNR incubation did not significantly disrupt the total number of colonies formed and qualitatively, colonies did not demonstrate significant lineage differences. GNR-labeled HSCs demonstrated significant reconstitution after myeloablative total body irradiation in mice. We expect that GNR-labeled HSCs will distribute to the glioma microenvironment and draining lymph nodes, positively correlating with long-term survival after ACT. Discussion/Significance of Impact: GNRs harbored high biosafety and feasibility for tracking HSC migration after ACT. We seek to translate this theranostic tool into the current first-in-human clinical trials at our institution for patients diagnosed with neuroblastoma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma to improve immunotherapies against brain malignancies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: A major barrier to older adult (65+) over-the-counter (OTC) safety is the lack of actionable research on factors affecting older adult decisions during OTC selection. This goal of this study is to develop and validate a survey instrument based on the Protection Motivation Theory to measure older adults perceived risk of OTCs. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The 24-item OTC Protection Motivation survey underwent revision using a consult from the UW Survey Center as well as rigorous cognitive interviewing and pilot testing with 8 older adults. It was administered to 103 community-dwelling older adults. OTC misuse data was gathered from 15 of the participants. OTC misuse evaluated by three pharmacy experts on the basis of OTC appropriateness given participants age, existing conditions, concurrent medication use, and intention to adhere to label guidelines. Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the relationship between OTC misuse and protection motivation. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to determine a model of best fit to describe the factor structure of the OTC Protection Motivation survey. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The EFA yielded a 5-factor model of protection motivation, which included the components of deliberative risk perception, a combination of experiential and affective risk perception, threat severity, protective behavior intent, and perceived efficacy in protective behavior engagement. The EFA-based item reduction resulted in a final 18-item OTC Protection Motivation survey. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Older adults, who have the lowest health literacy levels, are responsible for 30% of OTC medication use and 61.5% of emergency department visits due to adverse drug events. This study is the first to characterize the relationship of OTC protection motivation and OTC misuse to inform patient-centered interventions for older adult OTC safety.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Despite significant advances in screening and treatment, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the United States today. Some of the most promising recent developments in cancer therapy have come from immune-based therapy. Immune-based therapy, however, has shown limited utility in patients with colorectal cancer. Studies have previously shown that certain chemotherapy regimens may be more effective in combination with immune-based therapy due to induction of inflammation in the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we sought to determine how standard chemotherapy (FOLFOX) affects the generation of antigen-specific anti-tumor immunity in colorectal cancer. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To determine the how antigen-specific immunity and T cell responses are affected by FOLFOX, we utilized a model antigen expressing murine colon cancer cell line syngeneic to C57BL/6 (MC38-CEA). Treatment was initiated when tumor size reached 50 mm2. Mice were treated with either vehicle (PBS), 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), Oxaliplatin, or combination (FOLFOX). Antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell (tet+Tc) were detected using Db-CEA-tetramer obtained from the NIH-tetramer core facility. Flow cytometry was performed for phenotypic analysis and tetramer positivity. Tumor growth was measured using standard caliper measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test for continuous variables and ANOVA was used when comparing multiple groups. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. All arms were completed with n=3–7. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: To determine how systemic treatment with chemotherapy affects cytotoxic T cell development (Tc), we established that we could detect antigen-specific Tc (tet+Tc) in the spleen, tumor, and draining lymph nodes of tumor-bearing mice. After establishing that the system worked appropriately, tumor-bearing mice were treated with different chemotherapy regimens and tumor growth was monitored. As expected, the combination of FOLFOX was significantly better than either drug individually (2-way ANOVA, p<0.01). FOLFOX therapy also showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in the number of tumor-associated tet+Tc, and tet+Tc expressing phenotypic markers of effector (Te) and resident memory (Trm) subsets. Tumor-associated tet+Tc highly expressed PD-1 (>50%); however, this was not significantly different between treatment or vehicle arms. Since 5-FU, one component of FOLFOX has previously shown a selective reduction of myeloid-derived suppressor cells, we also investigated the myeloid compartment. There were no significant differences in conventional or plasmacytoid dendritic cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, or tumor-associated macrophages. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The future of cancer care involves multi-modality care tailored to patients. To more effectively combine therapy it is critical that we understand how currently utilized therapy works. In this study, we show that the primary chemotherapy regimen utilized in colorectal cancer increases tumor-associated antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells and the majority of these cells are PD-1 positive. This suggests that FOLFOX may work in concert with immune-based therapy when selected appropriately. Further study is warranted to determine optimal combination therapy and ways to maximize anti-tumor immunity in order to improve the treatment of patients with this deadly disease.

The consent process for research studies can be burdensome for potential participants due to complex information and lengthy consent forms. This pragmatic study aimed to improve the consent experience and evaluate its impact on participant decision making, study knowledge, and satisfaction with the In Our DNA SC program, a population-based genomic screening initiative. We compared two consent procedures: standard consent (SC) involving a PDF document and enhanced consent (EC) incorporating a pictograph and true or false questions. Decision-making control, study knowledge, satisfaction, and time to consent were assessed. We analyzed data for 109 individuals who completed the SC and 96 who completed the EC. Results indicated strong decision-making control and high levels of knowledge and satisfaction in both groups. While no significant differences were found between the two groups, the EC experience took longer for participants to complete. Future modifications include incorporating video modules and launching a Spanish version of the consent experience. Overall, this study contributes to the growing literature on consent improvements and highlights the need to assess salient components and explore participant preferences for receiving consent information.
