OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study aimed to characterize urinary exosomal miRNA content in African American adults with diabetic kidney disease. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Male and female participants between the ages of 18 and 65 were recruited from the Diabetes Treatment Center and the Nephrology Clinic at the Howard University Hospital. Exosomes were isolated from cleared urine of healthy controls (n=3), type 2 diabetics (n=3), and participants with chronic kidney disease (n=3). The purity and size of isolated microparticles was evaluated using NanoSight technology (30nm to 120nm size range) and western blot analysis for exosome-specific markers (TSG101 and CD81) RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Expression of 5 selected microRNAs, miR-4534, miR-320c, miR-451, miR-362-3p and miR-877-3p were evaluated by qRT-PCR. miR-4534 and miR-451 was increased between healthy controls and the type diabetic group. MiR-320c was increased in the CKD group, in comparison to healthy controls. Conversely, there was no difference in miR-877-5p between the three groups. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These findings will provide insight into the use of circulating miRNAs as early markers of DKD, ultimately creating more effective treatments and preventive measures.
