OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We aimed to conduct an updated genome-wide meta-analysis of keloids in expanded populations, including those most afflicted by keloids. Our overall objective was to improve understanding of keloid development though the identification and further characterization of keloid-associated genes with genetically predicted gene expression (GPGE). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used publicly available summary statistics from several large-scale DNA biobanks, including the UK Biobank, FinnGen, and Biobank Japan. We also leveraged data from the Million Veterans Program and performed genome-wide association studies of keloids in BioVU and eMERGE. For each of these datasets, cases were determined from ICD-9/ICD-10 codes and phecodes. With these data we conducted fixed effects meta-analysis, both across ancestries and stratified by broad ancestry groups. This approach allowed us to consider cumulative evidence for genetic risk factors for keloids and explore potential ancestry-specific components of risk. We used FUMA for functional annotation of results and LDSC to estimate ancestry-specific heritability. We performed GPGE analysis using S-PrediXcan with GTEx v8 tissues. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We detected 30 (23 novel) genomic risk loci in the cross-ancestry analysis. Major risk loci were broadly consistent between ancestries, with variable effects. Keloid heritability estimates from LDSC were 6%, 21%, and 34% for European, East Asian, and African ancestry, respectively. The top hit (P = 1.7e-77) in the cross-ancestry analysis was at a replicated variant (rs10863683) located downstream of LINC01705. GPGE analysis identified an association between decreased risk of keloids and increased expression of LINC01705 in fibroblasts (P = 3.6e10-20), which are important in wound healing. The top hit in the African-ancestry analysis (P = 5.5e-31) was a novel variant (rs34647667) in a conserved region downstream of ITGA11. ITGA11 encodes a collagen receptor and was previously associated with uterine fibroids. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This work significantly increases the yield of discoveries from keloid genetic association studies, describing both common and ancestry-specific effects. Stark differences in heritability support a potential adaptive origin for keloid disparities. Further work will continue to examine keloids in the broader context of other fibrotic diseases.

Objectives/Goals: In CTSA funding calls issued since 2021, the NCATS has differentiated the terms “translational research” and “translational science” which has resulted in confusion between the terms. We explore why this distinction has become challenging for CTSA hubs to implement as a requirement of pilot and UM1 awards and reflect on ways to reduce confusion. Methods/Study Population: We conducted a historically informed critical analysis of data collected from three sources. First, we looked at the scholarly literature on definitions of translational science and translational research since 2006. Second, we analyzed NCATS funding calls from 2006-2024 to identify if and how translational science and translational research were defined and utilized. Lastly, we used our professional experience over the last five years working at a CTSA hub and developing trainings to differentiate translational research and translational science for pilot awards. Results/Anticipated Results: Results suggest three reasons why challenges are commonplace. First, we demonstrate that NCATS has not consistently communicated this distinction, resulting in different interpretations of the concept of translational science. Second, we argue that the systems-level conceptualization of translational science is uncommon in biomedical science training, potentially contributing to gaps in understanding. Third, we show that the academic performance measures, funding, and infrastructures for biomedical research in the United States are not designed to support translational science projects, systems, and careers. Most notably, there are no NIH R01 mechanisms dedicated to translational science that provide standard NIH career pathways. Discussion/Significance of Impact: We propose education and peer-to-peer brainstorming sessions to improve the ability of CTSA investigators to understand the scope of translational science and translational research. However, to truly support long-term work in translational science, NCATS would need to develop a clear career path that includes R01s in translational science.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Epidemiologic data suggest that BV is sexually transmitted with male partners colonized or infected with the responsible organism(s). The objective of this study was to compare the genital microbiota of women with recurrent BV and their regular male sexual partner using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and quantitative PCR targeting BV-candidate bacteria (Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, BVAB1-3, Sneathia, Leptotrichia, and Megasphaera type I). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Women with recurrent BV (≥3 prior episodes, including a current episode) and their regular male partner participating in a BV treatment trial and providing genital specimens (women: vaginal; men: urethral, coronal sulcus, urine) at enrollment were included. Male specimens for each participant were pooled. 250 bp 16S rRNA V4 region PCR amplicons were sequenced and analyzed using the QIIME pipeline. Taxonomy was assigned using the RDP Classifier against a modified Greengenes database with additional vaginal taxonomies added. An average relative abundance cutoff of 0.5% was used for analysis. qPCR was also performed for specific BV-candidate bacteria. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to investigate associations between all genital bacteria in addition to BV-candidate bacteria between partnerships. To determine positive associations between partnerships, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In total, 45 partnerships were included. Mean partnership age was 31.3 (SD=7.9), 91.1% partnerships were African-American. The majority of partnerships (70.0%) reported condomless sex during the past 3 months. Regarding 16S data, 37 genital bacteria had an average relative abundance of ≥0.5%. The average Spearman correlation across all 45 partnerships was 0.28 (SD=0.27) (median=0.27, minimum=−0.21, maximum=0.84). Overall, a positive association of all genital bacteria existed across the partnerships (p<0.0001). However, regarding specific BV-candidate bacteria, Spearman correlation tests for G. vaginalis, A. vaginae, Prevotella bivia, Megasphaera type I, BVAB1, and BVAB2 were nonsignificant. In contrast, Sneathia spp. were positively correlated between partnerships (r=0.37, p=0.01). With regards to qPCR results, RNA Cq analyses provided significant evidence for a linear association between male and females for only A. vaginae (r=0.52, p=0.006). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: In monogamous heterosexual couples in which the female has BV, the vaginal microbiota of women and the penile/urine microbiota of men were significantly correlated, particularly with regards to Sneathia spp. and A. vaginae, supporting the hypothesis that BV-associated bacteria are exchanged during sex.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To describe a study to develop, test, and collect implementation data on a youth-led hypertension (HTN) education digital intervention that acts as an electronic tool to guide youth through learning and then teaching adults on how to achieve better HTN control. Adults with uncontrolled HTN are recruited from a New Jersey emergency department (ED). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Adults with HTN and youth (15-18 years) participate in a remote user-centered design session focus group to provide input in the development of the youth-led HTN education digital intervention. 100 adult ED patients with uncontrolled HTN (blood pressure (BP) ≥130/80 mm Hg) who live with a youth (15-18 years) and the youth themselves are recruited for a randomized control trial (RCT). The adult-youth dyad is randomized to one of two arms, each a 6-week program with youth earning a digital badge: 1) intervention- youth-led HTN education with the adult, or 2) control- youth learn life skills (such as job readiness/resume building). Implementation metrics are collected through a post-intervention survey and qualitative interviews on the digital badge intervention including acceptability, feasibility, and fidelity. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We completed two youth focus groups (total of 8 participants) and data collection is ongoing. Youth have shown great interest in the intervention prototype and thought their peers would find it acceptable. They suggested additions to nutrition education activities, such as adding a sodium tracker and examples of high sodium foods. For the RCT, the primary study outcome is adult BP change (from baseline to 1 week and 2-months post-intervention), with secondary outcomes of HTN knowledge and youth self-efficacy. We anticipate that intervention arm adults will have a more significant decrease in BP than control arm adults. We also expect that HTN knowledge and youth self-efficacy will be higher for the intervention arm. Implementation data collected will allow for improvements to future renditions of the intervention. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Bringing health education home while simultaneously empowering youth is an innovative technology-driven model for improving BP for patients with uncontrolled HTN who may lack access to care. Outcomes of this project will result in a scalable and easily adoptable model to reach an otherwise difficult to reach adult population.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To quantify changing trends in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) etiologies, mainly hepatitis C related HCC (HCV-HCC), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease related HCC (NAFLD-HCC), and alcoholic liver disease related HCC (ALD-HCC), at a single center as well as compared to large national databases. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This is a retrospective longitudinal study using a single-center database of patients presenting with HCC from January 1995 to September 2023. Etiologies were confirmed through patient history, clinical exam, and viral serologies. Trends in rate of etiology were analyzed using linear regression. Further investigation will include survival analysis. To improve generalizability, the single-center data were supplemented with national cross-sectional data from the NHANES database on liver disease prevalence from March 1999 to August 2023. Data were provided through questionnaire, clinical exam, and viral serologies. Trends in rates will be analyzed using linear regression. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Among the single center cohort, NAFLD-HCC increased at an average rate of 1.3% per year (95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.1% to 1.4%) and HCV-HCC decreased at an average rate of -0.56% per year (95% CI = -0.83% to -0.29%). Projecting the linear models for the past ten years forward, HCV-HCC is predicted to take up a lower proportion than NASH-HCC by 2026 and lower proportion than ALD-HCC by 2028. Future results will include analysis of the changing proportions of etiologies for liver transplant and survival analysis for HCC by etiology from the single center cohort. Additionally, national trends in HCC etiologies will be provided from the NHANES database. The trends from liver transplant etiology and NHANES are expected to parallel the preliminary results. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: As the prevalence of NAFLD increases in the general population, more cases of NAFLD-HCC will be seen in the future. Understanding the changing trends can guide surveillance recommendations, shape treatment algorithms, and frame research priorities.

ABSTRACT IMPACT: The knowledge acquired from my research can inform the development of early diagnostic methods for HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In the era of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART), the prevalence of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remains high but the neural mechanisms are unclear. We examined whether older people with HIV (PWH) with minimal cognitive impairment have reduced functional connectivity in frontostriatal circuits compared to controls. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 99 PWH (mean age 56.6 years, 75% male, 62% Black, mean duration of HIV-infection 26.2 years ±9.3, 90% viral load <50 copies, 98% on stable cART) and 38 demographically-comparable controls (mean age 54.5 years, 71% male, 58% Black) participated in a cross-sectional study. A 7-domain neuropsychological battery and an Activities of Daily Living index were used to determine HAND diagnoses: 32 PWH met criteria for asymptomatic to mild HAND. Motor skill was assessed using the Grooved Pegboard Test by measuring performance speed. Structural MRI and resting-state functional MRI were collected. Seed-to-voxel analyses were conducted using 4 distinct regions in the striatum as seed regions. We used a voxel threshold of p<0.001 and cluster threshold of p<0.05 (FDR-corrected) after controlling for demographic variables. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Compared to controls, PWH had lower resting state functional connectivity between the default mode region of the striatum (i.e., medial caudate) and bilateral superior frontal gyrus, supplementary motor cortex and paracingulate gyrus (p<0.05; cluster size: 567 voxels). Also, compared to controls, PWH had reduced resting state functional connectivity between the motor division of the striatum (i.e., posterior putamen) and anterior cingulate cortex and left supplementary motor cortex (p<0.05, cluster size: 405 voxels). Performance speed on the Grooved Pegboard motor test negatively correlated with functional connectivity between the motor region of the striatum and supplementary motor frontal regions in all participants (Spearman’s rho=-0.18, p=0.04). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: Our results support the hypothesis that frontostriatal abnormalities are widely present in PWH and might play a key role in HAND development. Our data suggest that dysfunction within the frontostriatal circuits may be involved in motor impairment in PWH, and ongoing inflammation may contribute to motor impairment and frontostriatal injury.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The increasing frequency and severity of heat waves due to climate change present unique risks to children. We aim to assess how various heat wave definitions impact pediatric acute care utilization across California. We also hope to examine heat waves’localized effects at the zip code level and how contextual factors modulate these effects. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: A time-stratified case crossover will evaluate the association between different heat wave definitions and pediatric acute care utilization throughout California. A within-community matched design analysis coupled with a bayesian model will examine heat waves’ effects at the zip code level. A random effect meta-regression will determine which contextual factors modulate heat waves’ impact on different zip codes. Temperature data will be pulled from Cal-Adapt and interpolated to each zip code population centroid. Data for all unscheduled pediatric hospitalizations and ED visits for selected ICD codes in California from 2000–2019 will be obtained from the California Department of Health Care Access and Information. Contextual factors will be sourced from the US Census and the Healthy Places Index. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We anticipate that heat waves will be associated with increased pediatric acute care utilization throughout California for select ICD codes. At the zip code level, we anticipate that there will be considerable spatial variation in the association between heat waves and care utilization based on region and zip code characteristics. Furthermore, we expect to see significant variation in the association between heat waves and hospitalizations based on the selected heat wave definition. We predict that zip codes with the highest increases in care utilization will have higher percentages of non-white residents, lower socioeconomic status, and fewer heat protective factors like park density and tree coverage. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: As global temperatures continue to rise, children will be increasingly susceptible to health consequences associated with heat exposure. Understanding which pediatric populations are most vulnerable during heat waves is critical for designing policies and interventions that protect the most vulnerable communities.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: This abstract describes a recently-funded 2 year study that aims to: (1) explore the community advisors’ perspectives of the safe sleep intervention’s acceptability, feasibility, and adaptability using focus groups and key informant interviews. (2) Adapt the selected safe sleep interventions (SSI) and identify promising implementation strategies to support it through an evidence-based quality improvement process with a multistakeholder group. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Background sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is the leading cause of post-neonatal infant death in the United States. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed account for over 50% of SUID, leading to recommendations for supine sleep position and safer sleep environments for infants. However, despite significant reductions in SIDS after “back to sleep” and “safe to sleep” campaigns, significant racial and urban-rural disparities persist. In 2015, the rural-urban crude death rate ratio was 4:1 and Black infants are twice as likely to die from SUID as White infants. Adherence to safe sleep recommendations is highly variable and a number of hospital and community-based interventions have been suggested to improve knowledge and change parent behavior. Hospital programs to promote safe sleep education and policies may serve to educate families about safe sleep, but may not be uniformly available in rural and underserved areas. The AAP evidence-based safe sleep guidelines have demonstrated reductions in SIDS and SUID when child caregivers adhere to them. Community-based SSI, including safety baby showers, promote safe sleep practices, but barriers may exist for participation, especially in rural areas. Partnering with community groups serving a high risk area, we will explore the barriers and facilitators to more widespread safety baby shower (SBS) delivery/adoption in rural underserved communities (RUC). Observation of the evidence-based SBS as it is currently delivered, focus groups and key informant interviews will be conducted with program leaders and participants. Based on this knowledge and using an evidence-based development process, we will adapt the SBS and identify implementation strategies to support its uptake in RUC. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We expect to develop a modified safe sleep intervention that reaches more expectant and new mothers is more efficient at delivering safe sleep guidelines to rural community members and can be more readily adopted and implemented by RUC. Supporting implementation strategies will be identified during the formative evaluation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Developing a safe sleep intervention adapted for the local context through a collective decision-making process between intervention experts and local community advisors will potentially improve safe sleep guideline delivery and adherence in RUC. The next study will pilot test the effectiveness of the adapted safe sleep intervention with identified supporting implementation strategies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) plays essential roles in energy metabolism and cell signaling pathways. NAD functions as a coenzyme by accepting electrons during glycolysis and the TCA cycle and subsequently donates them to complex I of the electron transport chain providing the driving force for ATP production. NAD also acts as a co-substrate for several classes of enzymes, including sirtuin deacetylases. Both NAD and the enzyme that is rate limiting for synthesis, Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (Nampt), are depleted in the failing heart, concurrent with hyperacetylation and mitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, treatment with NAD precursors reduced cardiac injury in several heart failure models. However, NAD precursors may have systemic effects, and it remains unproven whether depletion of myocardial NAD is causative or merely correlative for the onset and progression of heart failure. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To test this, we generated a cardiac-specific tamoxifen-inducible (αMHC-MerCreMer) model for deletion of Nampt (Nampt cKO) in cardiomyocytes. Adult mice were administered tamoxifen for 5 days leading to deletion of Nampt, resulting in a 72% reduction in myocardial NAD after two-weeks. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Echocardiography revealed that Nampt cKO mice displayed a significant reduction in left ventricular (LV) contractility as well as cardiac hypertrophy. Despite the further loss of NAD, the majority of animals survived to 8 weeks of age before experiencing sudden deaths resulting in significant mortality over the next several weeks. Remarkably, we observed only a slight increase in acetylation of mitochondrial proteins, and cardiac mitochondria isolated from Nampt-null mice even at 8 weeks displayed a normal or higher oxygen consumption rate. We found that mitochondrial NAD levels were preferentially maintained and depleted at a slower rate compared to those in bulk tissue. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: While mild depletion of cardiac NAD has been reported in heart failure, our data indicate that the heart can adapt to much more severe loss of NAD prior to the loss of viability.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the risk of an early syphilis diagnosis following a chlamydia, gonorrhea, or HIV diagnosis, and to determine differences by race, repeat infection, diagnosing provider and STI/HIV risk behavior among cisgender women in Baltimore, MD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Public health surveillance data from 2009-2021 was used to examine the overall incidence of syphilis infections among cisgender women ages 13-50 diagnosed with a reportable STI (chlamydia, gonorrhea, or HIV) and the percentage of total infections that were early infections (primary, secondary, or early latent syphilis) in Baltimore City. Data were collected on age, race, diagnosing location (i.e., STI clinic, private provider, etc.), preceding STI diagnoses, and sexual risk behaviors. STI-specific cumulative incidence and incidence rate ratios were used to compare syphilis diagnoses among Black vs. white women, women with repeat STI diagnoses vs. one STI diagnosis, women diagnosed at a public vs. private clinic, and commercial sex workers and substance users vs. those not reporting these risk behaviors. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Based on recent surveillance data, we expect approximately 79,000 chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV diagnoses among cisgender women between 2009-2021. We hypothesize that 3% of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV diagnoses among cisgender women will be followed by a syphilis diagnosis within the study period. Extrapolating from previous studies of early syphilis in men who have sex with men in Baltimore, we expect the rate of syphilis diagnosis following STI diagnosis will be higher in Black vs. white women, women with a prior gonorrhea or HIV diagnosis vs. chlamydia diagnosis, women with repeat STI diagnoses vs. one STI diagnosis, women diagnosed at public STI clinics vs. those diagnosed by private providers, and women reporting commercial sex work and/or substance use vs. those not reporting these risk behaviors. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Local healthcare providers should offer syphilis screening to any woman diagnosed with a chlamydia, gonorrhea, or HIV infection. The higher rates of early syphilis diagnosis among women with repeat STI diagnoses or a prior gonorrhea or HIV diagnosis suggests regular screening is critical in these populations.

Objectives/Goals: Effective collaboration is needed to respond to the scientific challenges of our times. A related challenge is how to support individual and team learning for such collaborations. Our project goal is to describe and evaluate team training approaches and lessons learned at one CTSA since the inception of#_msocom_1 its Team Science Core in 2017. Methods/Study Population: The Institute of Translational Science (ITHS) Team Science Core has offered team science-focused training and education for nearly eight years. During this time, our approach has evolved to meet changing needs and contexts. Initially, most of our offerings were in person, including an annual multi-day in-person workshop for interdisciplinary research teams (3 or more individuals from 2 or more disciplines). During and since the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of our offerings have shifted to online trainings which has helped expand regional access. Throughout this period, qualitative and quantitative data have been collected about and from participants. We have carried out mixed methods analyses to describe and evaluate these team training approaches and lessons learned. Results/Anticipated Results: Since 2017, the ITHS Team Science Core has offered ~250 trainings for more than 6000 individual participants (and >500 interdisciplinary research teams). Participants included students (undergraduate and graduate), trainees, faculty, clinicians, and research professionals from the WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) Region and beyond. Feedback from participants in workshops, seminars, classes, and other activities has been overwhelmingly positive; 80–95% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement that “participation will improve my team’s collaboration.” Qualitative responses (short answers and interviews) illustrate ways that individuals and teams applied their learning to improve communication, clarify roles, and increase confidence in using team tools. Discussion/Significance of Impact: Clear benefits of participating in team science education and training were reported. A shift to virtual formats increased accessibility and regional representation. Qualitative interviews and short answer responses offered an enriched understanding of how team training influenced collaboration and implementation of team science practices.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: Objective: apply checkpoint inhibitors that are specific to the exhaustive markers expressed on tumor CD8+ T-cells ex vivo in order to improve cytokine release and cytotoxic function in comparison to two control groups: (1.) T-cells that receive no antibodies; (2.) T-cells that receive standard inhibition with PD-1 and CTLA-4 antibodies only. Long-term objective: provide personalized medicine in the treatment of HCC by using checkpoint inhibitors that are specific to the receptors expressed by an individual tumor. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The study population includes patients undergoing liver transplantation or surgical resection for HCC. Two grams of tumor, two grams of healthy liver tissue at least one centimeter from the tumor margin, and 50 milliliters of blood will be obtained. Solid tissue will be mechanically and enzymatically disrupted and CD8+ T-cells will be isolated from all sites. Using flow cytometry, the expression of surface receptors PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3, TIM-3, BTLA, CD244, and CD160 will be categorized in each tissue to identify which receptors are upregulated in the tumor microenvironment. Up to three antibodies specific to the upregulated receptor(s) on the tumor T-cells will be applied per specimen. The experimental arm will receive these antibodies and co-stimulation with CD3/CD28 and will be compared to two controls. One control will receive only CD3/CD28, and the other will receive CD3/CD28 in addition to the standard combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors. From each condition, flow cytometry will be used to assess the mean production of interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, granzyme B, and perforin expression as an assessment of T-cell function. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Preliminary data from the peripheral blood of healthy controls confirms that the developed flow cytometry panels effectively identify the surface receptors and cytokine production of CD8+ T-cells. Two patients have successfully been enrolled in this study. It is predicted that T-cells extracted from the tumor will express more inhibitory receptors than normal liver or peripheral blood and will have increased function after they are targeted with checkpoint inhibitors that are specific to the inhibitory surface receptors they express. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: HCC is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and therapeutic options are limited for patients who are not surgical candidates. T-cells are a critical component of the anti-tumor response to HCC. However, T-cells can develop an exhausted phenotype characterized by up-regulated inhibitory receptors (PD-1, CTLA-4, LAG-3, TIM-3, CD-244, CD-160, BTLA) and decreased function, allowing for immune escape. Clinical trials using combined checkpoint inhibition with PD-L1 and CTLA-4 antibodies have been considered a breakthrough for patients with advanced HCC, as up to 25% show an objective tumor response. The explanation for the varied susceptibility to checkpoint inhibition remains unknown and is hypothesized to be secondary to inconsistencies in the expression of surface inhibitory receptors. Although inhibitory receptor expression has been shown to be upregulated under conditions of hepatitis and/or HCC, there has been no single study to effectively investigate the expression of all known inhibitors in order to better explore the interplay between them. It will be of great academic interest and clinical purpose to evaluate individual receptor expression and engage the correlating antibodies given the possibility of synergism between receptors and the need for a more profound anti-tumor T-cell response in HCC.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Despite a disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on minority and under-resourced communities, nearly all COVID-19 resources have only been online in English. A statewide coalition of community and academic partners used community-engaged strategies to provide tailored outreach to diverse populations. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: The STOP COVID-19 CA statewide team had a workgroup focused on communications. Members of this group represented different sectors, racial/ethnic groups, disciplines, and regions across the state. They had regular meetings to discuss and strategize how to overcome the impact of historic and structural racism on access to COVID-19 resources, including testing, vaccines, and protective equipment. The team also shared regular updates about changes in community concerns and needs as well as new, tailored resources. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Together, the team has been able to reach diverse populations across the state, including providing information about COVID-19 in multiple languages and formats, from radio to virtual town halls to local health fairs. The multiple sites also increased access to vaccines and testing through trusted community leaders and locations, including church-based locations to bringing vaccines and testing directly to workplaces. These community pop-up vaccination sites have helped to vaccinate large numbers of diverse populations, some of whom were initially unsure about getting the vaccine, which has helped to reduce the gaps in community vaccination rates by race/ethnicity. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This network of community-engaged strategies utilized for rapid COVID-19 response could also be used to for responses to future public health emergencies, addressing chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), or even other complex issues that affect society and health (e.g., climate change).

ABSTRACT IMPACT: If immune checkpoint blockade increases bacterial clearance with or without antibiotics in vitro, clinical application would be almost immediate and dramatic creating a seismic shift in the current therapeutic paradigm of periprosthetic joint infection. OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major cause of failure after joint replacement. Currently, the treatment of PJI relies on removing biofilm contaminated implants. Some of the bacteria within biofilm undergo a phenotypic shift becoming small colony variants (SCVs). SCVs induce local immunosuppression through PD-1/L1 signaling. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will infect cultured human macrophages and bone marrow aspirate with stable Staphylococcus aureus SVCs and treat with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies with and without antibiotics (e.g., gentamycin, cefazolin, vancomycin, rifampicin) and assess the residual bacterial viability. We will utilize multiplexed ion beam imaging to quantify PD-1/L1 expression in human tissue from patients with a chronic PJI and compare those to patients undergoing an aseptic revision. Patients with a chronic PJI are likely to have increased expression of PD-1/L1 as their tissue samples are prospectively screened. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: SCVs reduce the phagocytic activity of macrophages and can survive intracellularly. SCVs also induce anti-inflammatory M2-macrophage polarization and recruit a heterogeneous group of immature monocytes and granulocytes called myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) to the periprosthetic microenvironment. M2-macrophages and MDSCs then produce an immunosuppressive cytokine milieu characterized by increased IL-10 and decreased TNF-α. Clinically isolated SCVs up-regulate the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on the surface of macrophages, representing a mechanism by which SCVs induce host immunosuppression and survive immune clearance. Our preliminary data show PD-L1 expression during septic PJI, but not in aseptic revisions. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF FINDINGS: If immune checkpoint blockade is shown to increase bacterial clearance with or without antibiotics, host immunomodulation would represent a novel class of therapeutic adjuvants to assist surgical debridement and antibiotic administration that could be superimposed on existing treatment algorithms to improve PJI related outcomes.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: To create a new semantically correct high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platform. To demonstrate the utility of the HTP platform for observational research and can allow clinical investigators to perform studies in 5 minutes. To demonstrate the improved accuracy of observational research using this platform when compared with traditional observational research methods. To demonstrate that patients who have Roseacea are at increased risk of having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This population is a set of 212,343 patients in the outpatient setting cared for in the Buffalo area over a 6-year period. All records for these patients were included in the study. Structured data was imported into an OMOP (OHDSI) database and all of the notes and reports were parsed by our HTP system which produces SNOMED CT codes. Each code is designated as a positive, negative or uncertain assertion and compositional expressions are automatically generated. We store the codified data 750,000,000 codes in Berkley DB, a NOSQL database, and we keep the compositional graphs in both Neo4J and in GraphDB (a triple store). Labs are coded in LOINC and drugs using RxNorm. We have developed a Web interface in .Net named BMI Search, which allows real-time query by subject matter experts. We analyzed the accuracy of structured Versus unstructured data by identifiying NVAF cases with ICD9 codes and then looked for any additional cases based on the SNOMED CT encodings of the clinical record. This was validated by 2 clinical human review of a set of 300 randomly selected cases. Separately we ran a study to determine the relative risk of OSA with and without Rosacea using the data set described above. We compared the rates using a Pearson χ2 test. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We are able to parse 7,000,000 records in an hour and a half on 1 node with 4 CPUs. This yielded 750,000,000 SNOMED CT codes. The HTP data set yielded 1849 cases using ICD9 codes and another 873 using the HTP-NLU data, leading to a final data set of 2722 cases from our population of 212,343 patients. In total, 580 patients had Rosacea;5443 patients had OSA without Rosacea and 51 patients had OSA with Rosacea. Patients with Rosaca had an 8.8% risk of OSA whereas patients without Rosacia only had a 2.6% risk of OSA. This was highly statistically significant with a p<0.0001 (Pearson χ2 test). The number needed to test was only 12. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: HTP can change how we do observational research and can lead to more accurate and more prolific investigation. This rapid turn around is part of what is necessary for both precision medicine and to create a learning health system. Patients with Rosacea are at increased risk of and should be screened for OSA.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The central goal of this proposal is to characterize the mechanisms that mediate success or failure of immature intestinal barrier in necrotizing enterocilitis. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: To do this, I will utilize stem cell derived human intestinal organoids (HIOs), an innovative model of the immature intestine, and a cohort of bacterial isolates collected from premature infants who developed NEC to interrogate the cause-effect relationship of these strains on maintenance of the intestinal barrier. I hypothesize that the epithelial response to bacterial colonization is strain-dependent and results in differences in inflammatory signaling that shape epithelial barrier function in the immature intestine. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Preliminary data shows that colonization of HIOs with different bacteria leads to species-specific changes in barrier function, and some species selectively damage the epithelial barrier while others enhance epithelial barrier function. I have identified key inflammatory signals that serve as central drivers of intestinal barrier function. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Characterization of this process is expected to substantially advance scientific understanding of early events in NEC pathogenesis and lead to new opportunities for targeted therapeutic intervention to accelerate barrier maturation or prevent hyperinflammatory reactivity in the neonatal intestine. The research proposed in this application represents an entirely novel approach to studying host-microbial interactions in the immature. Conceptually, this novel translational approach will help to define the pivotal role of colonizing bacteria in initiating epithelial inflammation in NEC patients.

OBJECTIVES/SPECIFIC AIMS: The objective of this work is to determine the mechanistic consequences of BRCA1 mutants in inter-strand crosslink (ICL) repair. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Our lab uses Xenopus egg extracts to study ICL repair. These extracts can be depleted of endogenous BRCA1 by immunoprecipitation. The goal of this work is to rescue endogenous depletion with in vitro translated, wild type BRCA1. Once achieved, we can supplement the depleted extract with BRCA1 mutants to access their function in ICL repair. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We hypothesize that the BRCT and RING domain mutations will abrogate ICL repair, while mutations in the coiled coil region will not affect repair. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: These findings will have an immense impact on the understanding of BRCA1 domains. Importantly these results will spur personalized therapy of BRCA1 mutants by showing which domains are sensitive to cross-linking agents.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Epilepsy with myoclonic-atonic seizures (EMAS) is a childhood onset epilepsy disorder characterized by seizures with sudden loss of posture, or drop seizures. Our objective was to use short-read genome sequencing in 40 EMAS trios to better understand variants contributing to the development of EMAS. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Eligibility for the cohort included a potential diagnosis of EMAS by child neurology faculty at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Exclusion criteria included lack of drop seizures upon chart review or structural abnormality on MRI. Some individuals had prior genetic testing and priority for genome sequencing was given to individuals without clear genetic diagnosis based on previous testing. We analyzed single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions and deletions (INDELs), and larger structural variants (SVs) from trio genomes and determined those that were likely contributory based on standardized American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) criteria. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our initial analysis focused on variants in coding regions of known epilepsy-associated genes. We identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in 6 different individuals involving 6 unique genes. Of these, 5 are de novo SNVs or INDELs and 1 is a de novo SV. One of these involve a de novo heterozygous variant in an X-linked gene (ARHGEF9) in a female individual. We hypothesize the skewed X-inactivation may result in primarily expression of the pathogenic variant. We anticipate identifying additional candidate variants in coding regions of genes previously not associated with EMAS or pediatric epilepsies as well as in noncoding regions of the genome. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPACT: Despite the genetic heterogeneity of EMAS, our initial analysis identified de novo pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in 15% (6/40) of our cohort. As the cost continues to decline, short read genome sequencing represents a promising diagnostic tool for EMAS and other pediatric onset epilepsy syndromes.

Objectives/Goals: pT217-tau is a novel fluid biomarker that predicts onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) symptoms, but little is known about how pT217-tau arises in brain, as soluble pT217-tau is dephosphorylated postmortem in the humans. Aging macaques naturally develop tau pathology with the same qualitative pattern and sequence as humans, including cortical pathology. Methods/Study Population: The etiology of pT217-tau in aging brains can be probed in rhesus macaques, where perfusion fixation allows capture of phosphorylated proteins in their native state. We utilized multi-label immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase and immunogold immunoelectron microscopy to examine the subcellular localization of early-stage pT217-tau in entorhinal cortex (ERC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) of aged rhesus macaques with naturally occurring tau pathology and assayed pT217-tau levels in blood plasma using an ultrasensitive nanoneedle approach. Results/Anticipated Results: pT217-tau labeling is primarily observed in postsynaptic compartments, accumulating in: 1) dendritic spines on the calcium-storing smooth endoplasmic reticulum spine apparatus near asymmetric glutamatergic-like synapses and 2) in dendritic shafts, where it aggregated on microtubules, often “trapping” endosomes associated with Aβ42. The dendrites expressing pT217-tau were associated with autophagic vacuoles and dysmorphic mitochondria, indicative of early neurite degeneration. We observed trans-synaptic pT217-tau trafficking between neurons within omega-shaped bodies and endosomes, specifically near excitatory, but not inhibitory synapses. We also examined pT217-tau in blood plasma in macaques across age-span and observed a statistically significant age-related increase in pT217-tau. Discussion/Significance of Impact: We provide direct evidence of pT217-tau trafficking between neurons near synapses to “seed” tau pathology in higher brain circuits, interfacing with the extracellular space to become accessible to CSF and blood. The expression of pT217-tau in dendrites with early signs of degeneration may help to explain why this tau species can herald future diseases.

Objectives/Goals: This study aims to explore the relationship between plasma biomarkers (GFAP, NF-L, and IL-1β) and cognitive impairment in moderate to severe TBI patients. We will assess biomarker levels and their link to neurocognitive outcomes at acute and chronic stages of injury. Methods/Study Population: We will recruit 100 patients aged 21 years and older with moderate to severe TBI (Glasgow Coma Score 3–12) from a trauma hospital. Blood samples will be collected at 24–72 hours post-injury and again at 3 and 6 months. Plasma levels of GFAP, NF-L, and IL-1β will be measured using multiplex ELISA. Neurocognitive tests will be administered at 3 and 6 months to assess cognitive function. Correlations will be made between biomarker levels, neurocognitive performance, and disability scores (Disability Rating Scale and Glasgow Outcome Scale). Exosome isolation from plasma will allow for detailed analysis of astrocyte-derived biomarkers and their association with long-term cognitive impairment and recovery. Results/Anticipated Results: We anticipate that plasma levels of GFAP, NF-L, and IL-1β will be elevated in the acute phase of moderate to severe TBI and will correlate with injury severity. At 3 and 6 months, higher levels of IL-1β, in particular, are expected to be strongly associated with cognitive deficits. We also anticipate that biomarkers in astrocyte-derived exosomes will provide more specific insights into long-term neuroinflammation and its impact on cognitive function. These findings could pave the way for targeted, personalized interventions to improve recovery in TBI patients. Discussion/Significance of Impact: This research focuses on inflammation’s role in cognitive impairment and disability in TBI patients. We propose using multiple biomarkers – GFAP, IL-1β, NF-L – paired with advanced techniques like exosomes and multiplex analyses to identify novel therapeutic targets, aiming for personalized treatment strategies, as well as prognosis.
