OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The objective of this study is to develop patient-derived “personalized” organotypic models of human distal airways, in which basal stem cells (BCs) isolated from the pre-/terminal conducting airway region are co-cultured with autologous stromal cells from the same region to reproduce patient-specific distal airway epithelial-stromal units and their remodeling in COPD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We established a protocol to isolate and propagate epithelial BCs, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells from the distal airways of normal and COPD lung donors. Heterogeneous cellular and molecular phenotypes in the human distal airways were characterized using immunofluorescence and single-cell RNA sequencing. Patient-specific distal airway epithelial-stromal units were reconstructed by co-culturing BCs and autologous stromal cells using an air-liquid interface-based airway wall model and a bronchosphere-based 3D distal airway organoid assay. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Histologic analysis of derived epithelial-stromal units revealed heterogeneous patient-specific phenotypes characterized by hypo-/hyper-/metaplastic lesions (hypo-regenerative phenotype, mucous cell hyperplasia, squamous metaplasia, distal-to-proximal repatterning) in the epithelial compartment, accompanied, in some samples, by stromal remodeling. Candidate epithelial-stromal cross-talk mechanisms were identified using quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis of autologous epithelial and stromal compartments of established patient-specific distal airway unit models. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Epithelial and stromal cells isolated from distal airways of subjects with and without COPD can be assembled into functional, organ-level tissue which mimics the architecture of human distal airways and, in patients with COPD, reproduces several distal airway remodeling phenotypes. Patient-specific models of distal airway epithelial-stromal cross-talk established in this study can be used to identify candidate pathways that mediate disease-relevant airway remodeling and potentially utilized as pre-clinical platforms for developing personalized therapeutic approaches to suppress the progression of distal airway remodeling in chronic lung diseases, including COPD.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: This research takes a transcriptomic approach to parse genes and molecular pathways that underlie the fear memory circuitry and, in doing so, identifies therapeutic targets that can further be developed into treatments for fear disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. 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 basolateral amygdala (BLA) 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 molecule PSD95-nNOS inhibitor, RNA-sequencing, and an AAV-mediated knockdown of the nNOS gene in the BLA. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We show that treatment with ZL006 attenuates rodent cued-fear consolidation. Additionally, with RNA-sequencing, expression of 516 genes was altered in the BLA following fear expression; of these genes, 83 were restored with systemic ZL006 treatment. Network data and gene ontology enrichment analyses further revealed that cGMP effects, insulin-like growth factor binding, and cognition-related pathways were significantly altered. Finally, we show that a BLA-specific knockdown of nNOS attenuates cued fear consolidation, without adverse effects on other memory and motor behaviors. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Via a model of NMDAR-mediated fear consolidation, our results reveal novel pathways and genetic targets that underlie plasticity of fear memory circuitry. Importantly, these results will inform future therapeutic strategies for targeting fear related disorders like PTSD.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Early age at menopause has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease; however, there is limited evidence for a relationship between early menopause and heart failure (HF). We examined whether early menopause is associated with incident HF among women in the southeastern United States. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Southern Community Cohort Study enrolled ~86,000 low-income black and white adults from 2002 to 2009. Participants for this analysis were 11,948 women who were postmenopausal at enrollment, had no history of HF, and were on Medicaid or Medicare. HF events were ascertained using ICD-9 codes 428.x via linkage of the cohort with CMS Research Identifiable Files through December 31, 2010. Early menopause was defined as self-reported age at menopause less than 45 years. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed from multivariable Cox regression models, overall and by race, adjusting for demographic, lifestyle, and reproductive factors, including reason for menopause. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: At baseline, mean age was 58±9 years, and 65% of participants were black. Among women with early menopause, 76% (n = 4,836) had menopause due to hysterectomy or oophorectomy. In women with later menopause, 74% (n = 4,102) reported natural menopause. During a median follow-up of 5.0 years (range 3.1-6.7), 2,157 incident HF events occurred. Compared with women with later onset of menopause, those with early menopause had increased HF risk (HR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.10–1.47). Risk of HF associated with early menopause was similar in white and black women (p-value for interaction: 0.13). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: In this largely low-income population, early menopause was associated with an increased risk of developing HF. Women with early menopause represent a potential target population for future interventions to decrease risk of HF and cardiovascular risk factors.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The objective of this presentation is to describe different recruitment tools implemented by the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) to facilitate participant recruitment into research studies. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participant recruitment is critical to the success of all research studies. In the effort of advancing clinical and translational science and to help investigators recruit volunteers for research studies, the University of Miami has two recruitment tools: 1) Consent to Contact (CTC), an opt-in research registry where University of Miami Health System patients are asked for permission to be contacted about studies matching their demographic and/or health profiles; and 2) UMiamiHealthResearch.org (UMHR), implemented with the Michigan CTSA, a community-based registry for volunteers to sign up and be contacted about studies. Study investigators can use these tools once they have obtained IRB approval for their research. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The CTC was launched in 2016; to date, over 130,000 patients have enrolled in CTC; 69 studies have been approved with over 75,000 patients’contact information released to study teams. UMHR was launched in 2020. To date, the site lists 237 studies. A total of 2,727 portal visitors have expressed interest in participating in specific studies. Study team members were successful in engaging interested participants, and enrolling participants into studies. Overall, teams reported a positive impact on recruitment. Data collection on utilization and satisfaction of these recruitments tools is ongoing. In addition, focus groups of study team members are being conducted to identify best practices for using these tools, and findings will be presented. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The CTC and UMHR recruitment tools have demonstrated positive impact in helping study teams identify potentially eligible research volunteers. The continued promotion of these tools at the University of Miami Health System and in the community will be crucial to the recruitment process and execution of research studies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Uterine fibroids (UF), non-cancerous myometrial neoplasms, affect 11 million women in the US. In qualitative research, experiences of Black women (BW) and Latinas (HL) with UF are understudied. UF etiology is poorly understood, and most symptoms are focused on decreasing UF symptoms. This study will showcase a translational approach in studying UF. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A community-engaged research process will be used throughout the study. We have a partnership with the Fibroid Foundation (FF), a UF advocacy organization. For our first aim, we have held community-engagement (CE) studios to provide insight for best practices in creating and implementing culturally appropriate studies with ethnoracially diverse women regarding topics of UF. Our CE studios set the foundation for the second aim, which will be in-depth interviews assessing the sociocultural impacts among pre-menopausal BW and HL with UF. The women will be recruited through the FFs social media platform. To address lack of treatment options in UF, we will be focusing on JAK 2/3 pathway. We will be performing immunofluorescence on tissue microarrays on over 100 patient samples with extensive clinical and survey data. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We held two CE studios, one with BW with UF and another with HL without UF. These participants were chosen as patient stakeholders. One theme from the CE studio was that both groups mentioned a cultural impact around menstrual health and UF discussions. The participant stakeholders provided insight to other influences in their journey that will be used to develop the interview guide questions for Aim 2. We expect the individual interviews to show similar experiences as our CE studio experiences. We anticipate more in-depth conversations about the sociocultural and ethnoracial factors impacting UF treatment. For Aim 3, we hypothesize that there will be increased JAK 2/3 expression in UF of patients with higher sympton burden and larger fibroid volume. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Implementing a community-engaged research framework provides a foundation for qualitative and translational gynecologic research in BW and HL. This project will contribute insight to their UF experience. There is a lack of innovative treatments, and we have access to valuable patient tissue and data that can be used for potential molecular targets.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In spite of significant growth in undergraduate research, there is little accessible RCR training material targeting this group. The goal of this project was to develop level appropriate RCR materials and test them for effectiveness of teaching basic knowledge of RCR. It was developed cognizant of the type of learning preferred by this group. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Todays undergraduate students are digital natives accustomed to using on-line resources for learning and value the ability to work independently. An asynchronous, online series of eight RCR modules were developed using PowerPoint. Audio instruction was overlaid over the presentations and uploaded to YouTube. Each module includes quiz at the end that must be completed with a 90% score in order to continue and students can retake each quiz until correct. Case studies, a plagiarism game, and additional resources such as infographics created by the Office of Research Integrity were included. 275 first year undergraduates completed the pilot and the on-line retrospective pre-post assessment that included 28 Likert scale items and two open-ended questions that were analyzed with RapidMiner. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Participants rated their ability prior to and after the course to recognize the roles/responsibilities of a mentor, maintain and organize data records, recognize what constitutes research misconduct and multiple types of plagiarism, define ethics of authorship and the types of peer review, recognize responsible handling of human and animal subjects and to define collaborative research. Responses were analyzed using t-Tests and all items showed a significant increase. Students reported between a 28% and 50% increase in knowledge in each topic and gains in understanding where to report RCR violations. Text analysis using RapidMiner provided developers with suggestions on how to enhance the project. Students reported finding the course concise and easy to understand and valued the included case studies. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study demonstrated that RCR materials developed specifically for todays undergraduate students, presented an easily accessible format, effectively conveys the basics of RCR. The on-line, asynchronous format made it accessible to those for whom in person course is not possible. This model fills the gap in RCR training for early researchers.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: This study will provide the essential characterization of intrinsic neural activity in human brain organoids, both at the single cell and network levels, to harness for translational purposes. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Brain organoids are 3D, stem cell-derived neural tissues that recapitulate neurodevelopment. However, to levy their full translational potential, a deeper understanding of their intrinsic neural activity is essential. Here, we present our preliminary analysis of maturing neural activity in human forebrain organoids. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Forebrain organoids were generated from human iPSC lines derived from healthy volunteers. Linear microelectrode probes were employed to record spontaneous electrical activity from day 77, 100, and 130 organoids. Single unit recordings were collected during hour-long recordings, involving baseline recordings followed by glutamatergic blockade. Subsequently, tetrodotoxin, was used to abolish action potential firing. Single units were identified via spike sorting, and the spatiotemporal evolution of baseline neural properties and network dynamics was characterized. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Nine organoids were recorded successfully (n=3 per timepoint). A significant difference in number of units was seen across age groups (F (2,6) = 6.4178, p = 0.0323). Post hoc comparisons by the Tukey HSD test showed significantly more units in day 130 (51.67 ±14.15) than day 77 (16.33 ±14.98) organoids. Mean firing rates were significantly different in organoids based on age, with drug condition also trending toward significance (F (6,12) = 9.97; p = 0.0028 and p = 0.08 respectively). Post hoc comparisons showed a higher baseline firing rate in day 130 (0.99Hz ±0.30) organoids than their day 77 counterparts at baseline (0.31Hz ±0.066) and glutamate blockade (0.31Hz ±0.045). Preliminary network analysis showed no modularity or small-world features; however, these features are expected to emerge as organoids mature. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Initial analysis of brain organoid activity demonstrates changes in single unit properties as they mature. Additional work in this area, as well as further network analyses, will confer better sense of how to rationally utilize brain organoids for translational purposes.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: We aim to examine the epidemiological characteristics of prosopagnosia by querying and analyzing a large deidentified clinical data set from 12 New York City-based hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). The PCORI-funded New York City Clinical Data Research Network (NYC-CDRN) contains ~4.5 million deidentified ICD-coded electronic health records (EHRs) with comprehensive longitudinal information on demographics, patient visits, clinical conditions/diagnoses, laboratory and radiology results, medications, and clinical procedures. The NYC-CDRN will be expanded to include other data sources, including insurance claims, social determinant of health, patient reported outcomes, and patient generated data. The central hypothesis was that systematic mining of this database would reveal new epidemiological information about prosopagnosia. We developed a computable phenotype for prosopagnosia, using the International Classification of Diseases version 9 (ICD-9). The computable phenotype consisted of the diagnostic code for the condition under study, prosopagnosia (ICD-9 code 368.16), as well as the codes for known surrogate diagnoses. We expected to identify cases of acquired prosopagnosia, where the condition occurs only after brain damage, due to stroke, trauma, or meningitis for example, and cases of developmental prosopagnosia, where the condition is present from an early age, with no history of brain damage. The goals of this project were to provide new information about the condition’s prevalence rate in the New York City area, which could be furthermore translated into wider geographical areas and to yield novel details about its antecedents and comorbid conditions. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To determine the presence of the diagnosis of interest, prosopagnosia, and common co-occurring conditions among a New York City-based study population, we investigated a large database in collaboration with the NYC-CDRN. At the time the large database was mined it contained ~4 million ICD-9 coded EHRs. We first created a search paradigm; applicable for screening the database that consists of ICD-9 coded EHRs. We generated a list of ICD-9 codes indicative for the patients’ difficulties with the perception of faces (368.16), which indicates the presence of the condition as part of the psychophysical visual disturbances complex, and this code identified 871 patients. Furthermore, we collected codes that indicate the presence of conditions that are known to be surrogate diagnoses of prosopagnosia. ICD-9 codes for surrogate diagnoses included for example, 854.* (coding for personal history of traumatic brain injury, n=1,409), 434.01, 434.11, and 434.91 (coding for cerebral thrombosis, embolus and artery occlusion unspecified with cerebral infarction, n=19,409), and 191.2 (coding for malignant neoplasm of the temporal lobe, n=566). In October 2015, coding was changed to the new ICD-10 coding system. No additional patients were revealed from the data set when the cohort was searched for the presence of corresponding ICD-10 codes, as institutions are currently in transition from ICD-9 to ICD-10. Using this search query with the large database, we extracted novel information about the epidemiological and demographical distribution of prosopagnosia and furthermore, gained new knowledge about commonly associated diseases. The fact that it must be presumed that the majority of diagnoses of prosopagnosia have been made on the basis of patients’ self-reports and clinicians’ judgments represents a limiting factor in this study. We are currently exploring machine-learning strategies to identify potential false-negative cases among the patients with surrogate diagnoses. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Investigations and application of our search query revealed a total number of n=129,549 patients carrying either the diagnosis code for prosopagnosia or the codes for the known surrogate diagnoses. There were 871 patients who carried the ICD-9 code 368.16, indicating the potential presence of prosopagnosia among other visual disturbances. Remaining patients (n=128,678) carried codes for known surrogate diagnoses, contained in the search query. Statistical analyses revealed elevated odds ratios for men (OR=1.55, 95% CI: 1.36, 1.77, p<0.0001), and for Black/African Americans Versus White individuals (OR=2.09, 95% CI: 1.74, 2.51, p<0.0001). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Currently, the prevalence of prosopagnosia remains unknown. Face blind individuals are struggling to recognize their social contacts by their face only in every day life and are therefore prone to experience reduced quality of life. We searched the large NYC-based clinical database, containing more than 4.5 million deidentified ICD-coded health records, for cases of prosopagnosia to shed light into its prevalence and epidemiological characteristics. We furthermore, mined the database for cases carrying known surrogate diagnoses to explore the magnitude and characteristics of individuals potentially under increased risk. Our efforts address a great healthcare need, as they revealed new epidemiological knowledge of a vulnerable and understudied population. The results of this project reveal new insights into the epidemiological characteristics of prosopagnosia and its surrogate diagnoses, and demonstrate the feasibility of mining large clinical databases to identify rare clinical populations. Our results suggest the need for a more targeted diagnostic assessment of face perception abilities in populations under increased risk.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Current clinical practice recommends occlusive dressings (e.g., film and hydrocolloid) for wounds with variable regenerative capacities. However, clinical evidence suggests that occlusion may hinder regeneration. Our objective was to test the impact of occlusion on regeneration using animal models. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The murine wound-induced hair neogenesis (WIHN) is a well-established model of regeneration characterized by de novo hair follicle (HF) formation in the center of large full-thickness wounds. The quantity of neogenic HFs depends on the robustness of Wnt signaling. Optimal tissue mechanics is also required for WIHN. Utilizing the murine WIHN model, we tested the hypothesis that wound occlusion impedes regeneration. We determined how (i) the timing and duration of wound occlusion impacts WIHN, (ii) Wnt signaling influences the occlusion-induced effects on regeneration and (iii) occlusion alters the tissue mechanics of the wound, which establishes the morphogenetic field needed for WIHN. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Occlusion completely eliminated WIHN. Only a brief period of occlusion between post-wound days 0-3 or 4-7 was sufficient to abrogate WIHN. Microarray and qPCR of open and occluded wounds demonstrated that occlusion promotes fibrosis by upregulating TGF-β2 and mechanotransduction, a mechanosensitive profibrotic pathway. Recruitment of these potent profibrotic pathways generated a symmetrically rigid wound incapable of de novo HF regeneration. Using transgenic animal models with enhanced Wnt signaling, we determined that the ligand-dependent Wnt signaling protected against the occlusion-induced inhibition of WIHN, as well as the occlusion-induced upregulation of both profibrotic pathways. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: In animal models, occlusion promoted fibrosis at the expense of regeneration during acute wound healing. Augmented Wnt signaling protected against this effect. Occluding wounds may reduce regeneration. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Clinical and translational science needs to address roadblocks to translational processes. We conducted a survey at two institutions, a private medical school and a large public university, to understand the frequency and distribution of barriers and roadblocks to research. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We reviewed the literature to compile a pool of barriers and roadblocks and convened a panel of relevant stakeholders to develop a 20-item questionnaire. Survey respondents were asked to select and prioritize the five leading clinical and translational roadblocks, provide information regarding their academic degrees and rank/position, complete open-ended items regarding their areas of research, and optionally add additional remarks in a comment box. The survey was disseminated in August 2022 via REDCap to faculty and staff with active research protocols at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Houston. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In total, 227 respondents completed the survey. Their disciplines were basic science (29.5%), translational research (52.9%), clinical research (55.5%), community-engaged research (9.7%), and educational research (9.7%). Respondents identified 1) lack of access to trained research coordinators, 2) lack of understanding about different resources that facilitate research, 3) complex regulatory environment and delays, 4) fragmented infrastructure for administrative and fiscal processes, and 5) inadequate funding for pilot projects to foster new research. Other roadblocks included lack of established community stakeholder partnerships, inadequate access to medical record data, and limited biostatistical support. In the comments, several respondents noted that all items included were important. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Research workforce recruitment/training was the highest priority followed by lack of access to information and administrative bottlenecks. We are building an online portal to increase awareness and simplify access to competency-based training and research services. Initiatives are underway to address other roadblocks.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Voiding postponement is common cause of LUT dysfunction in which children void infrequently with large volumes. This condition is modeled in mice that are subjected to social stress who show decreased voiding frequency and increased voided volumes along with increases in corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in Barrington’s nucleus (BN) (i.e., the pontine micturition center). Optogenetics is a technique to selectively stimulate cells or neurons of interest via light activated channel receptors [i.e., channel-2 rhodopsin (ChR2)]. Here we examined the effects of optogenetic manipulation of CRH BN neurons on the in vivo voiding phenotype and urodynamics in awake mice. We hypothesized that stimulating these neurons at higher frequencies (10–50 Hz) would lead to CRH-dependent alterations in voiding phenotype (i.e., larger voided volumes and longer intermicturition intervals. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Double transgenic mice expressing ChR2 in CRH cells were generated using the Cre-lox recombinase system and had fiberoptic probes implanted into BN at 8 weeks of age. The mice also underwent simultaneous catheter placement into the bladder for in vivo cystometry. In vivo cystometry before and during optogenetic stimulation at various frequencies was performed 5–7 days postoperatively. Saline was perfused at 10 µL/minute and baseline stable voiding cycles were established. Bladder capacity, threshold pressure, voiding pressure, and voided volume were recorded at baseline and at each optogenetic setting. In some mice, the protocol was repeated in the presence of CRH antagonist (NBI 30775). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Fiberoptic stimulation (470 nm at 25 and 50 Hz) produced a significant rise in the intermicturition interval, bladder capacities and increased void volumes. This effect was especially pronounced in females in whom bladder capacity and intermicturition interval more than doubled at 50 Hz stimulation. Fluoroscopic images confirmed complete bladder emptying with each void. The increased bladder capacity at higher frequencies (25 and 50 Hz) was CRH-dependent as injection of a CRH antagonist (NBI 30775) blocked the optogenetic effect. Control non-double mice showed no effects from optogenetic stimulation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Our results suggest that optogenetic stimulation of CRH-expressing neurons in BN at high frequency (25 and 50 Hz) inhibits micturition and recapitulates the voiding phenotype seen in socially stressed mice (large, infrequent voids). Lower frequencies of optogenetic stimulation (2 and 10 Hz) had no effects on cystometry parameters or voiding phenotype. In addition, females had a greater response to optogenetic stimulation compared with males with larger bladder capacities and longer intermicturition intervals. The changes in voiding phenotype seen were CRH dependent as blockage of the CRH receptor prevented changes in cystometry parameters with optogenetic stimulation. Further elucidation of these and other neural subpopulations in BN are warranted to understand micturition and how it may be manipulated in disease states such as voiding postponement and acute urinary retention.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The primary objective of this research is to determine whether being hand-reared, and deprived of early maternal interaction, will affect telomere length in orphaned kittens. The secondary goal is to examine how early maternal separation impacts the health, growth and behavior of orphaned kittens. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Kittens were fostered through local rescue groups and shelters. We collected blood samples from 42 orphaned kittens during the first week of their lives. Due to high mortality of this population, we obtained a second blood sample at eight weeks of age from only 30 of these kittens. We collected blood samples from 12 control kittens raised with mothers at during the first and eighth weeks of life. Blood samples are currently being processed with real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) by the Real-time PCR Research and Diagnostics Core Facility at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM). This includes RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, Reference Gene Validation, and qPCR analysis. Relative telomere length (RTL) will be calculated by comparing the average telomere abundance across three samples cells with that of a reference gene (single copy number) for each sample. The resulting T/S ratio (telomere to single copy) is proportional to the average telomere length. If T/S = 1, then telomere length in the sample and the reference are the same. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Because telomeres show the fastest rate of shortening early in life, we predict that maternal separation will increase the rate of telomere shortening in kittens. We also predict that the telomeres of orphaned kittens will be shorter at both one week and eight weeks of age, compared to controls. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: This study will increase our understanding of early life adversity, a finding that can translate to other mammals. It will inform the practice of fostering neonatal kittens, and illuminate whether these kittens might be at higher risk than mother-reared kittens for health problems (which could be investigated in future studies). If significant telomere shortening occurs between collection periods, then future studies can take more frequent blood samples to determine what stages of early development are potentially most sensitive. If differences between groups are found, this will establish a protocol for several future research projects, such as testing whether these detrimental effects can be mitigated by environmental enrichment via activation of telomerase. Telomerase is an enzyme that appears to counteract some shortening of telomeres, and is activated by several external factors, including exercise. Thus, a logical follow up study would be developing and testing age-specific and appropriate enrichments that may activate telomerase and reduce telomere loss. Physical contact, whether human, mother, or siblings, is another possible source of telomerase activation in young kittens. Future studies also could quantify the effects of different sources of physical contact on telomere shortening. Finally, a positive finding would establish a need for longitudinal studies of the effects of early weaning on feline health and behavior and whether differences in early-life telomere lengths predict health and longevity of cats.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The purpose of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) 16:0/20:4 homolog in uncoagulated, human blood samples taken from 18 participants in a clinical laboratory setting after consumption of 2 doses of ethanol. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Male and female participants received either 0.4 or 0.8 g/kg oral doses of ethanol during a 15-minute period. Blood samples were collected before and throughout 6 hours immediately after alcohol administration, then after 2, 4, 7, 11, and 14 days of administration day. PEth 16:0/20:4 levels were quantified by liquid mass spectrometry. Breath ethanol concentrations were measure concurrently with each blood collection during the administration day, as well as transdermal ethanol concentrations monitored constantly before, during and after ethanol administration day. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: (1) Single doses of 0.4 and 0.8 g ethanol/kg produced proportional increases in BrAC and PEth 16:0/20:4 levels; (2) the increase of Peth 16:0/20:4 from base line to Cmax was less than either PEth 16:0/18:1 or PEth 16:0/18:2 during the 6-hour period after ethanol administration; (3) the mean rate of formation of PEth 16:0/20:4 was lower than those of the other 2 homologs; (4) the mean half-life of PEth 16:0/20:4 was 2.18 days, which was shorter than that of either PEth 16:0/18:1 and PEth 16:0/18:2, which were 6.80 and 6.62, respectively. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: The results of this study further confirm that PEth homologs are a sensitive biomarker for ethanol consumption. The measurement of three PEth homologs appears to provide additional information about the level and time frame of drinking.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) has a prevalence of 26% in Baltimore and is associated with preterm delivery (PTD). Yet screening and treatment of TV is not advised due to conflicting data on harms. Our goal is to investigate the association between asymptomatic TV treatment and PTD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a retrospective cohort study of women who delivered a child at The Johns Hopkins Hospital between 7/1/16 – 11/19/19. Exclusion criteria included multiple gestation, stillborn, miscarriage, diabetes, hypertension/ preeclampsia, HIV, and history of PTD. Chart review and ICD-10 diagnosis codes were used to collect data on demographics, STI test results, lab encounter diagnoses, STI treatment during pregnancy, and labor encounter diagnoses. Preliminary analysis for crude incidence of PTD in asymptomatic and symptomatic women treated for TV was performed using TriNetx, a global research network compiling all de-identified data within the Hopkins system. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Three hundred and eighty women were tested for TV, 240 (63%) were asymptomatic and 140 (37%) women were symptomatic. Mean ages were 26 (SD:5) and 26 (SD:5) years, respectively. Black women comprised 87% of the asymptomatic cohort and 93% of the symptomatic cohort. Women of Hispanic ethnicity were represented by 4% of the asymptomatic cohort and 7% of the symptomatic cohort. Crude incidence of PTD was 4.1% among asymptomatic women and 7.1% among symptomatic women. Incidence ratio comparing asymptomatic PTD incidence to symptomatic PTD incidence was 0.58 with 95% CI (0.22, 1.56). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Preliminary data from our study suggests there is no difference in PTD between asymptomatic and symptomatic women treated for TV. Future steps include multiple linear regression using a larger dataset. These preliminary data suggest TV should be considered for screening during pregnancy.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The objective of this study is to use machine Learning techniques to generate maps of epithelium and lumen density in MRI space. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Methods: We prospectively recruited 39 patients undergoing prostatectomy for this institutional review board (IRB) approved study. Patients underwent MP-MRI before prostatectomy on a 3T field strength MRI scanner (General Electric, Waukesha, WI, USA) using an endorectal coil. MP-MRI included field-of-view optimized and constrained undistorted single shot (FOCUS) diffusion weighted imaging with 10 b-values (b=0, 10, 25, 50, 80, 100, 200, 500, 1000, and 2000), dynamic contrast enhanced imaging, and T2-weighted imaging. T2 weighted images were intensity normalized and apparent diffusion coefficient maps were calculated. The dynamic contrast enhanced data was used to calculate the percent change in signal intensity before and after contrast injection. All images were aligned to the T2 weighted image. Robotic prostatectomy was performed 2 weeks after image acquisition. Prostate samples were sliced using a 3D printed slicing jig matching the slice profile of the T2 weighted image. Whole mount samples at 10 μm thickness were taken, hematoxylin and eosin stained, digitized, and annotated by a board certified pathologist. A total of 210 slides were included in this study. Lumen and epithelium were automatically segmented using a custom algorithm written in MATLAB. The algorithm was validated by comparing manual to automatic segmentation on 18 samples. Slides were aligned with the T2 weighted image using a nonlinear control point warping technique. Lumen and epithelium density and the expert annotation were subsequently transformed into MRI space. Co-registration was validated by applying a known warp to tumor masks noted by the pathologist and control point warping the whole mount slide to match the transform. Overlap was measured using a DICE coefficient. A learning curve was generated to determine the optimal number of patients to train the algorithm on. A PLS algorithm was trained on 150 random permutations of patients incrementing from 1 to 29 patients. Slides were stratified such that all slides from a single patient were in the same cohort. Three cohorts were generated, with tumor burden balanced across all cohort. A PLS algorithm was trained on 2 independent training sets (cohorts 1 and 2) and applied to cohort 3. The input vector consisted of MRI values and the target variable was lumen and epithelium density. The algorithm was trained lesion-wise. Trained PiCT models were applied to the test cohort voxel-wise to generate 2 new image contrasts. Mean lesion values were compared between high grade, low grade, and healthy tissue using an ANOVA. An ROC analysis was performed lesion-wise on the test set. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Results: The segmentation accuracy validation revealed R=0.99 and R=0.72 (p<0.001) for lumen and epithelium, respectively. The co-registration accuracy revealed a 94.5% overlap. The learning curve stabilized at 10 patients with a root mean square error of 0.14, thus the size of the 2 independent training cohorts was set to 10, leaving 19 for the test cohort. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: We present a technique for combining radiology and pathology with machine learning for generating predictive cytological topography (PiCT) maps of cellularity and lumen density prostate. The voxel-wise approach to mapping cellular features generates 2 new interpretable image contrasts, which can potentially increase confidence in diagnosis or guide biopsy and radiation treatment.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: 1. To identify novel genetic modifiers that result in a mild bleeding phenotype in patients with FVIII <1%. 2. To examine the feasibility of a practice model that incorporates the principles and methods for both obtaining consent for NGS and returning individual research results from the sources described above. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 1. We plan a 3-step approach for identifying novel genetic modifiers of hemophilia: a. Obtain samples from individuals with an extremely mild bleeding phenotype: The study will be narrowed to patients with confirmed FVIII <1%, a null mutation in the gene for FVIII, and a mild bleeding phenotype according to a detailed bleeding history. b. Identify variants that modify phenotype: Whole exome sequencing will be performed, followed by a focused analysis of genes known or suspected to be involved in thrombosis and hemostasis and prediction of variant impact using algorithms that account for conservation and deleteriousness of all variants. c. Verify the impact of novel variants in independent samples: In silico (analyze genetic databases for suspected variants), in vivo (assess bleeding in animal models of hemophilia after introducing presumed modifier variants). 2. We will employ a model for obtaining informed consent and communicating individual genetic research results and results with potential clinical impact to research participants: a. The informed consent process will be performed after potential participants read a pamphlet entitled “Genetic Research at The Rockefeller University Hospital and Center for Clinical and Translational Science.” The pamphlet includes 16 questions that the potential participants are urged to ask the investigator, including, “What will you look for in my genetic information?”, “Will I receive results from this study?”. Potential participants will also be informed of the meaning of clinically actionable variants, either pathogenic variants related to phenotype or secondary (“incidental”) findings (i.e. variants unrelated to phenotype, the knowledge of which could lead to actions that may improve health). Participants who do not want to receive information about potentially actionable variants will be excluded from the study to avoid a situation where the investigator has clinically important information that cannot be shared with the participant. b. Genetic testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified lab to allow investigators to share the results with the study participants. c. Results will be reported to study participants according to a standard operating procedure (SOP) that classifies the report of variants according to the relation to phenotype and the pathogenic potential. d. Participant satisfaction with the informed consent process and the return of results will be assessed by a questionnaire for obtaining participants’ perceptions of their research experience, based on a standard set of validated research participation experiences measures (Kost RG et al, J Clin Transl Sci. 2018;2:31). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Samples from individuals with severe null mutation hemophilia and a mild bleeding phenotype will be enriched in genetic modifier variants. After completing participation, participants will express satisfaction with the informed consent process and the results of the return of genetic information. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Genetic risk assessment to predict bleeding risk has the potential to provide hemophilia patients with tailored therapy, allowing for very early initiation of treatment (prophylactic thrice weekly IV administration of FVIII) in patients with a high bleeding risk and deferring this costly and burdensome treatment in patients who are expected to be mild bleeders. Genetic modifier variants of hemophilia may be found to predict thrombosis in non-hemophiliac patients and profoundly impact the treatment of venous thrombosis. A structured process for obtaining consent for NGS and return of genetic results to study participants can protect them from uncertain genetic information. Moreover, this process will prevent a situation in which investigators have knowledge about clinically actionable variants but they are not allowed to report them to the participants or do not have a process for doing so. Sharing individual research results and results with clinical significance with participants of studies that involve whole exome sequencing can promote transparency and engagement of participants throughout the research enterprise.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common cause of liver disease in the United States and increases risk for cirrhosis and liver cancer. Identifying modifiable risk factors for NAFLD could allow better targeting of prevention programs. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a significant role in the development and progression of NAFLD. IR is also an important precursor to the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the development and duration of IR during young adulthood and its association with NAFLD and T2DM in midlife is unclear. To test whether trajectories of IR using homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) change throughout early adulthood are associated with risk of prevalent NAFLD and T2DM among persons with NAFLD in midlife independent of current or baseline HOMA-IR. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participants from the CARDIA study, a prospective multicenter population-based biracial cohort of adults (baseline age 18–30 years), underwent HOMA-IR measurement (≥8 h fasting and not pregnant) at baseline (1985–1986) and follow-up exam years 7, 10, 15, 20, and 25. At Year 25 (Y25, 2010–2011), liver fat was assessed by noncontrast computed tomography (CT). NAFLD was defined as CT liver attenuation <51 Hounsfield Units after exclusion of other causes of liver fat (alcohol/hepatitis/medications). Latent mixture modeling was used to identify 25-year trajectories in HOMA-IR over time. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess associations between HOMA-IR trajectory groups and prevalent NAFLD with adjustment for baseline or Y25 HOMA-IR. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among 3060 participants, we identified 3 distinct trajectory groups for HOMA-IR for individuals free from diabetes in middle adulthood: qualitatively low-stable (46.7% of the cohort), moderate-increasing (42.0%), and high-increasing (11.3%) with a NAFLD prevalence at Y25 of: 8.3%, 33.4%, and 63.5%, respectively (p-trend<0.0001). After adjustment for confounders (baseline smoking status, alcohol use, body mass index, physical activity score, systolic blood pressure, antihypertensive medication use, and total/HDL cholesterol ratio) and baseline HOMA-IR, increasing HOMA-IR trajectories were associated with greater NAFLD prevalence compared with the low-stable trajectory group [odds ratio (95% CI): 5.8 (4.3–7.9) and 22.3 (14.2–34.9) for moderate and high, respectively]. These associations were attenuated, but remained significant, even after controlling for current Y25 HOMA-IR [OR=3.6 (2.6–5.0) for moderate and 5.9 (3.4–10.3) for high (referent: low)]. Among participants with NAFLD (n=511), high-increasing HOMA-IR trajectory was associated with greater prevalent [OR=6.5 (1.6–25.7)] and incident [OR=8.7 (2.2–34.4)] T2DM at Y25 independent of confounders and Y25 HOMA-IR (referent: low-stable). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: In this community-based sample of individuals free from diabetes at baseline, an increasing HOMA-IR trajectory through young adulthood was associated with greater NAFLD prevalence in midlife. Knowledge of changes in IR throughout adulthood provides new information on the risk of T2DM among persons with NAFLD in midlife independent of current level of IR. These findings highlight early identification of increasing IR as a potential target for primary prevention of T2DM in the setting of NAFLD.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: The potential to use vaginal pH as a low cost, non-invasive diagnostic test at the point of CIN2 diagnosis to predict worsening of cervical disease. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We previously reported that persistence/progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia-2 (CIN2) was uncommon in women living with HIV (WLH) from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS, now MWCCS). Here we examined additional factors that may influence CIN2 natural history. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A total of 337 samples from 94 WLH with a confirmed CIN2 diagnosis were obtained from the MWCCS. 42 cervicovaginal HPV types and 34 cervicovaginal cytokines/chemokines were measured at CIN2 diagnosis (94 samples) and 6-12 months prior to CIN2 diagnosis (79 samples). Covariates, including CD4 count and vaginal pH, were abstracted from core MWCCS visits. Logistic regression models were used to explore CIN2 regression (CIN1, normal) vs. persistence/progression (CIN2, CIN3). Log rank tests, Kaplan Meier method, and Cox regression modeling were used to determine CIN2 regression rates. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The most prevalent HPV types were HPV54 (21.6%) and 53 (21.3%). 33 women (35.1%) had a subsequent CIN2/CIN3 diagnosis (median 12.5 years follow-up). Each additional hr-HPV type detected at the pre-CIN2 visit associated with increased odds of CIN2 persistence/progression (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.15, 4.50). Higher vaginal pH (aOR 2.27, 95% CI 1.15, 4.50) and bacterial vaginosis (aOR 5.08, 95% CI 1.30, 19.94) at the CIN2 diagnosis visit associated with higher odds of CIN2 persistence/progression. Vaginal pH >4.5 at CIN2 diagnosis also associated with unadjusted time to CIN2 persistence/progression (log rank p=0.002) and a higher rate of CIN2 persistence/progression (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.37, 95% CI 1.26, 8.99). Cervicovaginal cytokine/chemokine levels were not associated with CIN2 persistence/progression. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: We found relatively low prevalence of HPV16/18 in this cohort. Elevated vaginal pH at the time of CIN2 diagnosis may be a useful indicator of CIN2 persistence/progression and the rate of persistence/progression.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: 1) Assess the patient-reported, perceived change in olfactory function after bimodal visual-olfactory training (OT) 2) Assess change in olfactory function after bimodal visual-olfactory training with a smell identification test 3) Assess which scents are most important to people with olfactory dysfunction (OD) METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The participants are adults with subjective or clinically diagnosed OD with post-surgical or traumatic etiologies within the last 5 years. At the first of two study visits, participants complete the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) and complete general health (SF-36) and olfactory-related quality-of-life questionnaires. From a list of 34 scents, participants chose the 4 scents most important to them and smelled the scents twice daily for 3 months. Olfactory testing and the quality-of-life questionnaires were repeated at the final visit. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: 10 participants have enrolled in the study. There was one screen fail and one withdrawal. Six participants are currently undergoing OT and two have completed the study. Seven participants have post-surgical etiology and three have post-traumatic etiology of their OD. Of the two participants who have completed the study, one had an UPSIT score improvement from 25 to 33 out of the 40 questions correct. The minimally clinically important difference on the UPSIT is 4. She reports improvement subjectively. The second participant had a UPSIT score change from 25 to 24 and reports ability to smell is neither better nor worse. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Traumatic and post-surgical, particularly post-transphenoidal hypophysectomy, are common etiologies of OD and no effective treatments exist. The results from our pilot study will help better inform the best way to undergo OT, how effective it is, and the planning of future studies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Frontiers CTSI developed applications to ensure its science teams have technological tools to advance their community engagement and trial management. The Trial Finder app is a mobile application that allows users to navigate available trials. The Accrual app will help study teams monitor their recruitment performances in real time. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The Data Science team at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) had previously developed similar applications for The University of Kansas Cancer Center. Both retrieve information from KUMC’s clinical trial management system and ClinicalTrials.gov. This was replicated to include KUMC Pulmonary Critical Care (PCC) and KUMC Neuromuscular (NM) trials. Frontiers CTSI is working with both groups for piloting and feedback. Recruiting and marketing strategies for investigators to add their trials to both apps will be done through existing communication channels and be highlighted on Frontiers trial resource website. Recruiting and marketing strategies of the Frontiers Trial Finder app to the external community will have a focus on, but not limited to, paid social media advertising. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The Trial Finder app can help providers search for trials their patient may be eligible for during clinic visits and to engage with the community by allowing anyone to download and browse on their Android/iOS device. Built in REDCap forms are used to capture contact information. The Accrual app is a web-based application that helps study teams monitor their recruitment performances in real time and provide an opportunity to adjust strategies. It uses an in-house algorithm to predict if trials will meet timeline goals. This data is conveniently laid out on a single web page so that science teams can overview all their trials’ recruitment performances simultaneously. The next phase of developing these applications is to market their use within Frontiers CTSI and its community catchment area. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Through collaboration, Frontiers CTSI is developing resources to support community engagement and trial management. New innovative applications like these ensure all the main stakeholders involved with clinical trial execution are always engaged and have access to iterative contemporary technologies that support their research.
