OBJECTIVES/GOALS: * Patients with skin of color (SOC) are disproportionately affected by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE). In this study, we aim to address this disparity and characterize the real-world efficacy and tolerability of anifrolumab in CLE patients using validated disease activity instruments. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: This single-center, prospective observational cohort study includes SLE patients with severe or refractory CLE who have received ≥ 1 dose of anifrolumab. Cutaneous disease activity is assessed periodically at 2, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months using the Cutaneous Lupus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI). Adverse events and concurrent treatments are also routinely evaluated. To date, 22 patients have been enrolled, with 6-month follow-up data available for 15. At the time of anifrolumab initiation, 95% of participants had discoid LE (DLE), 60% had mucosal DLE, and 13% had subacute CLE. Nine patients identified as SOC, two as White, and four did not report race/ethnicity. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: A Friedman test showed statistically significant changes over time in CLASI activity score (CLASI-A) (χ2(2) =20, p<0.0001) (Figure 1) and CLASI damage score (CLASI-D) (χ2(2) =9.5789, p=0.0083) (Figure. To estimate effect sizes, we employed linear mixed models, which demonstrated statistically significant reductions in the CLASI-A score from baseline by an average of 14 points at 2 months (p<0.001) and 18 points at 6 months (p<0.001); notably, a reduction in CLASI-A of 4 is considered clinically meaningful. At 2 months, 20% of patients experienced a 50% or more reduction in CLASI, which increased to 60% of patients at 6 months. Patients on systemic corticosteroids could taper off. Adverse events were minimal and did not lead to treatment discontinuation. Fig. 1:[blob:https://acts.slayte.com/045319b4-7272-4351-a771-78ba9ee57f5c] Fig. 2:[blob:https://acts.slayte.com/67df7653-0cd8-4e8e-a3e1-d5c565b19dce] DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: As SOC patients with CLE have significant potential for permanent pigmentary alternations, early treatment is imperative. Effective treatments for refractory CLE are elusive. Our study represents the largest single-center cohort of CLE patients treated with anifrolumab and suggests that it is a promising therapeutic option for patients with SOC.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Aim 1: We will determine whether temporal changes in the fecal microbiome signature correlate with a clinical multiple system atrophy (MSA) phenotype. Aim 2: We will evaluate whether secretomes cultured from fecal samples from MSA patients enhance intracellular and extracellular α-synuclein (αSyn) aggregation using in vitro functional assays. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Aim 1: Gut microbiome profiling will be performed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, tandem mass spectrometry for expression proteomics, and targeted metabolomics in fecal samples from 30 MSA cases matched to 30 healthy controls, a Parkinson’s disease comparison group, and household controls. Aim 2: Microbial species will be isolated using dilution-to-extinction on MSA fecal samples and then will be cultured to obtain secretomes. To assess the effect of MSA fecal secretomes on αSyn aggregation, culture media from microbial isolates will be used in fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays and luciferase reporter assays, both modified to measure αSyn aggregation. Positive tests will undergo expanded metagenomic characterization of the microbes and secretome to identify potential causative agent(s). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Based on cross-sectional metagenomic studies on MSA, MSA cases are expected to have genus reductions in Blautia and Dorea (acetate production); Paraprevotella (succinic and acetic acid production); and Ruminococcus, Coprococcus, and Faecalibacterium (butyrate production). Increases in genus Bacteroides (clinical pathogen) and Akkermansia (mucin degradation) and pro-inflammatory families Clostridiaceae and Rikenellaceae are also expected. MSA is predicted to be associated with reduced levels of short chain fatty acids and increased lipopolysaccharide. These microbial proteins and metabolites are anticipated to modulate intracellular and extracellular αSyn aggregation in vitro. Microbe isolation and secretome culturing methods are expected to identify additional drivers of αSyn aggregation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study’s novel use of longitudinal sampling, household controls, and secretome culturing aim to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions between the gut microbiome and MSA. The success of this work offers the potential for new insights into the impact of the gut microbiome and secretome on MSA and αSyn aggregation.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Myocardial interstitial fibrosis leads to high hemodynamic load resulting in heart failure (HFrEF). Previous studies show that treatment with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) does not reduce fibrosis. We hypothesize that human cardiac fibroblasts are highly activated in HFrEF and remain unresponsive to hemodynamic unloading by LVAD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Forty human subjects with HFrEF undergoing LVAD implantation were enrolled to provide a portion of myocardium routinely removed during LVAD placement. In addition, 7 biopsies previously collected from transplanted hearts with extended LVAD treatment were also evaluated (LVEX). RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Quantification of PSR-stained sections reveals a significant increase in collagen content in the HFrEF tissue (CVF = 2.8) compared to control tissues (CVF = 0.9) that remained elevated in LVEX hearts (CVF = 3.1). HCFs from LV biopsies were isolated and grown to confluence. HCFs from HFrEF patients and control HCFs were plated on substrates with stiffnesses reflective of normal myocardium (2kPa) or HFrEF myocardium (8kPa). Cells were collected at 4- and 7-day time points and levels of collagen I and alpha-smooth muscle actin were quantified by western blot analysis. Control HCFs were responsive to changes in substrate stiffness producing more Col I and a-SMA on 8kPa versus 2kPa, HCFs from HFrEF patients were unresponsive to changes in stiffness exhibiting no significant difference in protein production on 2 vs. 8kPa. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our data suggests that HCFs isolated from the failing myocardium do not respond to changes in mechanical load and might contribute to persistent increases in fibrosis. These findings bring us one step closer to elucidating mechanisms behind fibrosis in HFrEF which could lead to targeted therapies to improve patient outcomes from LVAD support.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To determine in vitro mechanisms by which fruits and vegetables (FV) contribute to colon barrier development in Latin American infants. We hypothesize that simulated colonic fermentation of FVs will stimulatein vitro cell barrier function by activating the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway in colonocytes. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: FVs consumed by US-based Latin American infants 6-12 months old (identified from NHANES-What We Eat in America Surveys) will be combined with human breast-milk samples from women self-identified as Hispanic or non-Hispanic, and then subjected to in vitro digestion and anaerobic colonic fermentation using human feces. FV fermenta will be incubated with Caco2 monolayers to measure in vitro cell permeability and protein levels of cellular tight junction, metabolic, and HIF signaling enzymes. To examine their effects in vivo, FVs identified to modulate in vitro barrier function, will be fed (5% freeze dried powder) to wild-type mice and the above parameters will be examined. If in vivo effects are found, intestinal specific HIF knockout mice will be used to examine the role of HIF signaling in mediating these effects. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We expect that fermenta derived from human milk and FVs will reduce in vitro gut permeability in Caco2 monolayers by increasing gene and protein expression of the HIF signaling complex relative to fermenta of human milk alone. This will be reflected with higher cellular trans-epithelial resistance and greater expression levels of tight junction proteins. We expect FV powder consumption will similarly increase in vivo gut permeability and expression of related genes in mice as compared to mice fed diets without FVs. As we expect an increase in HIF signaling in the colon, we expect that FV powder consumption will not enhance in vivo gut permeability in mice colons with an intestinal specific knockout of HIF. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Data from this study will provide mechanistic evidence to help clinicians promote relevant FVs recommendations for Latin American infants and families. Due to the link between gut permeability and obesity, our next step will be to conduct a dietary intervention in this population.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Metastasis to regional areas decreases invasive breast cancer (IBC) survival rate by 13%. Despite the clinical importance of lymph node involvement, the role of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in metastases is unknown. We hypothesize that the spatial dysregulation of the collagen proteome facilitates pro-tumorigenic immune infiltration. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Lymph node metastases were compared to patient-matched primary tumor and normal lymph nodes using tissue microarrays (TMA) from 31 generational South Carolina women with IBC (black women, BW n=10, white women, WW n=21) and lumpectomies from 5 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients (BW n=3; WW n=2) by ECM-targeted mass spectrometry imaging. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Between metastatic and normal lymph nodes, 10% of peptides, primarily from fibrillar collagens, were significantly different by area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC>70%; p-value< 0.01) within the TMAs. In a subsequent preliminary study of the TNBC metastatic niche, a segmentation analysis of 152 putatively identified peptides and 117,909 pixels revealed 10 uniquely localized proteomic groups. 12 peptides were found to have significantly decreased relative peak intensities in lymph node metastases compared to the primary tumor and normal lymph nodes by a one-way ANOVA test (p< 0.05). 7 peptides could discriminate between metastatic and normal lymph nodes, while 22 peptides could discriminate between metastatic lymph nodes and the primary tumor (AUROC>0.70; p-value < 0.05). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our preliminary interrogation highlights emerging differences between lymph node metastases, the primary tumor, and normal lymph nodes. Future work is needed to connect these discrete ECM proteomes to immune infiltration alterations, which could contribute to disparate patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus with a high disease prevalence and burden, yet there are few multi-ancestry genetic studies. This is the largest and most diverse fibroid GWAS to-date. Our goal is to identify novel genetic variants and gene expression pathways associated with fibroids and characterize their biological relevance. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We performed a cross-ancestry meta-analysis of GWAS summary statistics from eight datasets. The total sample size was 74,294 cases and 465,810 controls with participants of European (80% of sample), African (4%), East Asian, and Central South Asian (16%) ancestry. We mapped variants to genes with OpenTarget Genetics and used Functional Mapping and Annotation to conduct tissue expression gene-set enrichment and identify lead variants. We used S-PrediXcan to estimate genetically predicted gene expression (GPGE) associated with fibroid risk. This was with models that predicted gene expression across 49 different tissue types. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis compiled significant GPGE genes and their weights with a scientific literature database to identify overlapping pathways. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We identified 370 independent significant variants. Among these, we identified variants mapped to three novel genes (PAX2, VIP, FOXO3) and eight genes not previously validated (TEKT1, SLC16A11, RPEL1, RASL11B, ASGR1, SLC12A7, TTC28, POLR2A). Many loci have roles in cell cycle regulation or are associated with fibroid risk factors like blood pressure, BMI, and vitamin D levels. Loci were significantly enriched in DNA damage and cell cycle pathways. Of 588 significant predicted expression gene-tissue pairs, 173 unique genes were novel fibroid associations. These genes are also associated with cancers, estradiol, and endometriosis. Top enriched pathways included p53 signaling, HOTAIR, BRCA1DNA damage response, and pulmonary fibrosis signaling. In uterine tissue there were 15 novel GPGE associations. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Using this large and diverse data, we identified novel loci associated with fibroids that are enriched in hormone-response, DNA damage, and cell-cycle pathways. GPGE loci were in tumorigenesis and fibrosis pathways. These novel genetic loci and uterine gene expression findings may provide translational opportunities for novel fibroid treatments.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Using a natural canine model of kidney stone disease, we previously identified a pathogenic variant in the uromodulin gene (UMOD) that imparts a dramatic risk for calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones. This study was designed to characterize the effects of the pathogenic variant on uromodulin processing, specifically polymerization and peptide excretion. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Uromodulin polymerization status and peptides were measured in random urine samples from CaOx stone-forming dogs with the pathogenic UMOD variant and breed-, sex-, and age-matched healthy control dogs. Polymerization status was determined using an ultracentrifugation protocol and Western blotting in 6 CaOx cases and 3 controls; relative abundance of the polymerizing and nonpolymerizing forms was evaluated. Uromodulin peptide abundances were measured by LC-MS/MS with 4 dogs per group; results were summed to determine total uromodulin peptide excretion for each dog, and individual peptide abundances were calculated as a percentage of the total. Polymerization status and peptides were compared between groups. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Dogs with the pathogenic UMOD variant had abnormalities in both uromodulin polymerization and peptide processing. The polymerization data showed that the polymerizing form of uromodulin was abundant in all healthy controls but absent or severely reduced in most dogs with the variant. In contrast, nonpolymerizing uromodulin was detected in all dogs with no observed difference between those with and without the variant. The peptidomics data showed that stone-forming dogs with the pathogenic UMOD variant lacked a peptide cleavage site, resulting in the loss of two common peptides that terminate at that site and the presence of longer peptides that span the site. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These findings implicate uromodulin polymerization and peptide processing defects in kidney stone risk. Future studies will define the mechanisms through which these defects affect stone formation, ultimately informing development of novel preventative therapies.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Load sharing across the arc of knee flexion of the medial knee ligaments (MKLs) is not well understood. The goal of this research is to characterize ligament engagement and in-situ force within the deep and superficial medial collateral ligament (dMCL, sMCL) and the posterior oblique ligament (POL) in response to externally applied multiplanar loads. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Ten human cadaveric knees, 5 male and 5 female, age 32±7 (25-42) [mean±SD (range min-max)] years, were mounted to a force sensor and a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. Knee kinematics, before and after serial dissection of the sMCL, dMCL, and POL, were recorded from 0-30 degrees during applied isolated external rotation, valgus angulation, and anterior tibial moments, and the force (Newtons, N) borne by each structure was measured via the principle of superposition. Loads in the dMCL, sMCL, and POL will be compared across each knee and at each flexion angle with paired t-tests and repeated-measures analysis of variance with Tukey post hoc testing. Ten knees will provide >99% power to detect differences of 5N ± 3% at p=0.05, which is considered the threshold for clinically meaningful force differences. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our anticipated results include characterization of the means and standard deviations of the in-situ forces within the dMCL, sMCL, and POL in response to externally applied valgus angulation, tibial external rotation, and anterior-directed tibial loading at 0, 15, and 30 degrees of knee flexion. Our statistical analysis will determine if there are clinically meaningful differences (5N ± 3%) in the loads within each ligament at different knee flexion angles and will also provide data regarding differential relative ligament engagement for each applied force scenario, which is an indication of the percentage of contribution that each structure contributes to knee stability during application of forces and torques to the knee. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Data on ligament engagement and in-situ forces will help clinicians better diagnose potentially injured ligaments when they observe pathological knee laxity in an injured patient. Our results will also inform future computer modeling studies on injury mechanisms, individual anatomical variability, and surgical planning.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Cachexia is the involuntary and irreversible loss of muscle and fat and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in head and neck cancer (HNC). It remains a poorly understood disease diagnosed by weight loss and a confluence of symptoms. We explored the metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms of cachexia symptoms via an multiomics network algorithm. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Prior to chemoradiotherapy, HNC subjects completed questionnaires and donated blood for untargeted (metabolites) and targeted (lipids and cytokines) assays. Metabolites and lipids were measured by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Cytokines were measured by multiplex assays. We plotted a multiomics network graph by estimating partial least squares correlations amongst metabolites, lipids, cytokines, and common cachexia symptoms—max percent weight loss over 1 year, baseline BMI, fatigue, performance, albumin, hemoglobin, and white blood cell count. To interpret the network, an algorithm identified highly correlated clusters of metabolites-lipids-cytokines-symptoms representing possible biological relatedness, which were functionally annotated via metabolic enrichment analysis. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: In 123 subjects (59 years of age, 72% male, 84% white, avg weight loss of 13%), we analyzed 186 metabolites, 54 lipids, 7 cytokines and 7 cachexia symptoms. We required a correlation >0.25 and P-value <.05 to be included in the network graph, resulting in 323 connections and 3 identified clusters. Max weight loss and baseline BMI were in a cluster enriched by unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis (P<.0001) and arachidonic acid (P=.01) metabolic pathways but not linked to inflammation cytokines. The five other cachexia symptoms were in a cluster with 4 cytokines (C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, IL10, IL1, Tumor necrosis factor receptor 2) and enriched by aminoacyl tRNA (P<.01) and valine biosynthesis (P=.02). We observed no meaningful differences when we stratified the analysis by human papillomavirus. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Cachexia symptoms in head and neck cancer may be linked to specific metabolic dysregulation—weight loss and BMI were linked to fatty acids; fatigue, anemia and others were linked to amino acids and inflammation. This information may allow for the recognition of a cachexic-metabolic subtype or provide novel targets for metabolic intervention.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Acidity and the lactate-to-pyruvate ratio correlate with immunotherapy resistance. AcidoCEST MRI and hyperpolarized magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HP-MRS) measure extracellular pH and lactate-to-pyruvate ratio. We will establish a baseline for these biomarkers then observe changes after combination esomeprazole and immunotherapy. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used multiple melanoma models created via serial in vivo passage under immunotherapeutic pressure (FVAX, CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1). We used four of these corresponding to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% resistance (TMT, F2, F3, and F4, respectively). HP-MRS was performed two weeks post implantation in male BL6 mice with AcidoCEST MRI 2-3 days later. Tumors were implanted in additional mice and grown for 1 week. We used esomeprazole as a possible immunotherapy sensitizer. Esomeprazole (or PBS) alone and in combination with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB; αCTLA-4, αPD-1) was then conducted every 3 days for 3 doses. ICB was administered 3h after esomeprazole. AcidoCEST MRI was performed the day after the final dose of combination therapy and 3h after esomeprazole (or PBS) alone. HP-MRS was performed 2-3 days after acidoCEST MRI. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: There was a statistical increase in the lactate-to-pyruvate ratio of the F4 group compared with TMT, F2, and F3 groups (p < 0.05). The TMT, F2, and F3 groups did not differ significantly. The extracellular pH (pHe) of the TMT group was statistically lower than the F2 and F4 groups (p < 0.05). The pHe did not differ significantly between the TMT and F3 groups nor the F2, F3, and F4 groups. The lactate-to-pyruvate ratio and pHe after combination treatment with esomeprazole and ICB did not differ compared to PBS+ICB control. Treatment with esomeprazole alone generated higher lactate-to-pyruvate ratio compared with PBS alone. Tumor volume curves and survival curves of mice bearing F4 tumors treated with esomeprazole combination with ICB showed no difference compared with PBS+ICB, PBS alone, and esomeprazole alone. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We differentiated between the 100% and 25% resistant models with both pHe and lactate-to-pyruvate ratio, although the pHe was counterintuitive. Esomeprazole was ineffective, but other potential sensitizers exist. A non-invasive clinical imaging tool and sensitizer would permit more personalized treatment plans so treatment is more effective.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: There are gain-of-function genomic alterations in FGFR genes that guide personalized treatment in some patients with cholangiocarcinoma (10%) and bladder cancer (30%) who can benefit from targeted therapies. We sought to evaluate other genomic alterations in cancer involving FGFRs and assess whether they are gain-of-function. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We collaborated with Foundation Medicine Inc (FMI), for the assessment of 300,000 sequenced tumors and a retrospective analysis of recent publications, to identify novel candidate FGFR alterations. We propose to transiently transfect HEK293T cells with an empty vector (EV), FGFR1-4 wild-type (WT), and these variants and use a luminescent-proximity based high-throughput assay, AlphaLISA, and Western blot to assess FGFR and phosphorylated downstream signaling proteins, FRS2, AKT and ERK, and their sensitivity to FGFR inhibitors: pemigatinib, erdafitinib, futibatinib, RLY-4008, and TYRA-200. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Through our collaboration we identified >100 novel candidate FGFR1-4 variants of unknown significance (VUS) including extracellular-in-frame deletions (EIDs), kinase domain duplications (KDDs), insertions/deletions (INDELs), short number variants (SNVs), and truncations. Immunoblot analysis confirmed the presence of desired EV, FGFR WT, and VUS’ in HEK293T cells. We anticipate the FGFR EIDs and KDDs to display an increased presence of in the respective pFGFR, pFRS2, pERK, and pAKT as compared to the EV and FGFR WT by both immunoblot and AlpahLISA analysis. Additionally, we anticipate the VUS’ to be sensitive to FGFR inhibitors: pemigatinib, erdafitinib, futibatinib, RLY-4008, and TYRA-200 using the AlphaLISA assay. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: These findings suggest that the novel FGFR VUS’ are capable of constitutive activation of FGFR kinase activity, and they preliminary demonstrate that these newly identified FGFR alterations are therapeutically targetable. Thus, providing rationale for further clinical evaluation to identify new cohorts of FGFR inhibitor responders.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: We endeavor to investigated the hypothesis that muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is stimulated more after consumption of a 4-ounce beef patty as compared to 4- and 8-ounces of a soy protein based meat alternative (SPBMA) and if a greater stimulation is related to differences in the responses of plasma essential amino acid (EAA) concentrations. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participants were aged 18 to 40 years of age with a BMI between 20 and 32 kg/m2. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants, and approved by UAMS IRB. Participants were assigned to one of three intervention groups via a single-blinded permuted block randomization, stratified for sex: 4 oz beef patty; 4 oz SPBMA; 2 x 4 oz (8oz) SPBMA. The impossible burgerTM was selected as it is primarily soy protein, a high-quality plant protein, and specifically designed to mimic a beef burger. Stable isotope were infused to assess protein metabolism. Appropriate muscle and blood samples were obtained. Enrichment and plasma EAA concentrations were measured with mass spectrometry. ANOVA’s on the change from basal to postprandial were used to identify group difference, significance was accepted at p < 0.05. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The MPS increase from basal to postprandial indicated a significant main effect of group (p = 0.026), with the beef group (0.020 ± 0.016%/hour) being significantly greater than the 4oz SPBMA (0.003 ± 0.010%/hour; p = 0.021) but not the 8oz PBMA group (0.013 ± 0.016%/hour; p = 0.454). Similar results were observed for whole-body protein synthesis, where the beef group (p = 0.042) and 8oz SPBMA (p = 0.033) were significantly greater than the 4oz SPBMA (p = 0.021). Whole-body protein balance was significantly greater in the 8oz SPBMA as compared to 4oz of beef and SPBMA. Lastly, we observed a significantly relationship (p = 0.046; r = 0.411) between the maximal plasma EAA concentration and change in MPS, indicating the greater rate of MPS following 4oz of beef is mediated by an higher increase in plasma EAA concentrations. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: In conclusion, 4oz of beef stimulates muscle protein FSR more than 4oz of a SPBMA. A common SPBMA can stimulate increase in protein metabolism, however, greater amounts are required as compared to beef protein. Further, the change in the muscle protein FSR response was significantly correlated with the maximal EAA concentration.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The CDC estimates that Influenza infections account for an average of 420,000 hospitalizations and 34,700 deaths in the U.S. each year. This project explores the underlying mechanisms of the infectious process of Influenza A in human lung organoids by examining the differential transcriptomic expression compared to uninfected controls. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Lung organoids were cultured from differentiated human bronchial epithelial cells from lung transplant donors on an air-liquid interface until they were confirmed to contain both mucous producing and ciliated cells. Lung organoids are ideal models in translational science due to their structural and functional characteristics which closely mimic those of in vivo human epithelial tissue. Half the organoids were exposed to Influenza A pH1N1 for 72h; the other half served as uninfected controls. RNA was isolated from both groups and sequenced using the Oxford Nanopore MinION which generates full length reads. Reads were aligned to the human reference genome (GRCh38.p14) using Minimap2. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: The MinION sequenced an average of 3.24m reads per sample and a total of 13,128 genes were relevantly expressed (defined as greater than 1 read per million in at least half the samples). ANOVA with a 5% false discovery rate (Benjamini and Hochberg correction) revealed 5,417 differentially expressed genes between infected and control groups. Within this subset, we identified downregulation of mucociliary clearance, mitochondrial and ß-oxidation, peroxisome, and glutathione replenishment genes. We further identified upregulation in inflammatory markers, lactate dehydrogenase enzymes, and several s100 proteins. The downregulation of mitochondrial and β-oxidation markers and the upregulation of lactate dehydrogenase enzymes revealed a Warburg-like phenotype which has not previously been reported. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: This study reveals a novel Warburg-like phenotype in Influenza A infection alongside downregulated mucociliary clearance and upregulated inflammatory processes. These findings improve our understanding of Influenza A infection and point to potential therapeutic targets to advance precision medicine approaches to treatment.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) experience significant disease- and treatment-related symptom burden, especially with higher lines of therapy (LOT). We used a remote symptom monitoring app to characterize overall symptom profile, symptom bother, and quality of life (QOL) among patients with MM across LOT and longitudinally. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We used Carevive PROmpt, a symptom monitoring app for cancer patients. From 11/10/22 to 9/27/23, we enrolled 84 adult patients with MM of any stage and anywhere in the treatment continuum from Duke Health MM clinics. Participants received weekly symptom surveys while on active treatment. Per prior studies, we defined heavily pretreated patients as those on current LOT ≥4. Our sample had a mean (SD) age of 63.7 (10.8) years and was 56.0% male; 73.8% had a prior bone marrow transplant, 40.5% were on LOT ≥4 (53.6% on LOT <4, 6.0% missing), 58.3% were on triplet therapy or higher. For 14 symptoms, we described the prevalence of moderate to very severe (MOD-VS) symptoms based on LOT overall and over time. We also described responses to “How bothersome are treatment side effects?” and “Overall QOL over the past week” based on LOT. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Surveys continued for a mean (SD) of 14.9 (9.6) weeks (range: 44). The top 5 MOD-VS symptoms ever experienced were fatigue (66.7% of patients), neuropathy (48.8%), muscle pain (44.0%), insomnia (39.3%), and general pain (38.1%). Patients on LOT ≥4 had most of these symptoms more often than LOT <4 (fatigue: 70.6% of patients vs. 60.0%, neuropathy: 71.8% vs. 40.0%, muscle pain: 47.1% vs. 42.2%, insomnia: 35.3% vs. 40.0%, general pain: 47.1% vs. 33.3%). For those on LOT ≥4, 42.9% of survey responses endorsed “somewhat”, “quite a bit”, or “very much” symptom bother compared to 32.7% for LOT <4. QOL was similar between groups. Over many months, patients on LOT ≥4 had several persistent symptoms (neuropathy, sadness, insomnia), but even those on LOT <4 had unmet symptom needs (fatigue, general pain, constipation). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Evidence shows that treatment selection at higher LOT in MM often underrates the impact of cumulative symptom burden. Our study reveals significant longitudinal unmet needs regarding symptom and distress management in MM; understanding this can help guide treatment decisions and palliative care for MM patients with escalating treatment demands.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Incomplete mucosal healingand dysbiosis prevent long-term remission after colitis. IL4 may restore colon homeostasis through its action on immune cells and the microbiome. We will demonstrate this mechanism using genetically modified mice and molecular tools. This may result in target therapies that prolong remission in patients with IBD. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Mice were treated with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water for 5 days to induce colitis. Mice were monitored daily for changes in body weight, and to monitor colitis severity. At each endpoint, mice were sacrificed and colon length was measured. For disease severity assessment, mouse colons were prepared in paraffin sections by the 'swiss-rolling' method. For flow cytometry, lamina propria mononuclear cell isolation was performed and cellular populations were stained with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies. IL4-eGFP-expressing (4get) mice were used to analyze the cellular expression of IL4 after colitis. Cell-specific IL4 deletion mice were generated using the cre-lox system. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: IL4-deficient mice had worse colitis compared with wild-type controls. Flow cytometry of lamina propria cells from 4get mice showed that most IL4-producing cells after colitis are eosinophils (CD11b+SiglecF+). Flow cytometry of C57bl6 mice showed an influx of IL4Ra+ monocytes (CD11b+Ly6C+) and macrophages (CD11b+F480+). IL4-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages demonstrated an increase in HB-EGF mRNA transcription. Myeloid-specific IL4R deleted mice had no difference in colitis severity compared with controls. Neutrophil-specific IL4R-deleted mice had increased colitis severity and mortality. Co-housing of littermate mice rescued recovery after DSS in IL4 deficient mice. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: IL4 appears to play a role in restoring homeostasis after colitis. The mechanism depends on eosinophil-derived IL4, and action through neutrophils. However, the reparative function of IL4 can be shared with deficient mice through the microbiome. I will study the cellular and microbial mechanism by which IL4 restores homeostasis after colitis.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This study seeks to elucidate the relationships between early life adversity (ELA), social learning, and empathic responding. Specifically, it aims to understand the impact of ELA on the expression of empathy and ability to adjust behavior after social observation. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: 60 healthy participants ages 18-65 will be recruited from the greater Baltimore area. They will undergo a placebo manipulation paradigm with simultaneous EEG recording to capture neural oscillations in frontal and insular cortices and event-related potentials. Participants will observe a demonstrator who indicates pain relief in response to the application of an inert cream. Then, while undergoing heat pain stimulations, the participant will receive the same inert cream and rate their physiological and psychological pain experience using a visual analog scale. The heat stimulations will be lowered without their knowledge to measure placebo response. Participants will also answer a battery of questionnaires which assess personality, psychological factors, life history, empathy, and current social life. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: It is expected that ELA will result in decreased placebo response, interpreted as deficits in social learning. Further, we expect that this effect is moderated by state empathy, empathy in a specific context or moment. We predict that individuals with lower state empathy and exposure to adversity will have greater deficits in social learning. We also expect to see more robust event-related potentials preceding painful stimulations at electrodes corresponding to the medial and ventral prefrontal cortex and insula in ELA-exposed participants. Because these brain regions are connected to anticipatory and predictive circuits, this would indicate that the individual has not adjusted their expectations according to the social information gained via observation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Results of this study will expand our understanding of how ELA impacts behavior throughout life. Individuals with a history of ELA often face social difficulties and a higher risk of psychiatric disorders. This study will illuminate possible neural correlates of these differences in social behavior and, more generally, the expression of empathy.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: In this study, we implemented deformable medial modeling as a morphometric approach in first trimester placentas to characterize morphometric differences between fully automated and manual segmentations. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Twenty placentas from singleton pregnancies between 11-14 weeks’ gestation were manually and automatically segmented from 3D ultrasound volumes. Automated segmentations were produced by a trained convolutional neural network pipeline. Dice overlap scores and volumes were computed between manual and automated segmentations. Deformable medial modeling was applied to both manual and automated segmentations to produce the following metrics: maternal and chorionic surface areas (SA), thickness, circumference, and diameter along the generated medial surface. Placental non-planarity was also determined as the greatest medial surface height difference. A paired t-test and simple linear regression was performed between manual and automated segmentations for each shape metric. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Mean placental volume measurements between manual and automated segmentations were similar, with a percent difference of 3.28% and a mean Dice overlap score of 0.85 ± 0.07. There were strong, statistically significant (p <0.01) linear correlations with chorionic and maternal SA, SA difference, thickness, circumference, medial surface diameter, and medial surface height difference. No significant differences were noted with chorionic SA, thickness, circumference, maximum medial surface diameter, or medial surface height difference. However, statistically significant differences (p <0.01-0.03) were noted in maternal SA, SA difference, and mean medial surface diameter. Despite these differences, mean percent difference for all morphometric parameters was less than or equal to 10%. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: A deformable medial model evaluate unique global and regional shape placental features with highly correlated values between manual versus automated placental segmentations. However, clinical studies are needed to determine if minor differences would impact the clinical utility of these features as potential indicators of placental function.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: To determine if incorporating specific laboratory values and plasma biomarkers (club cell secretory protein (CC16), matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP3), interleukin 8 (IL-8), protein C) to the Lung Injury Prediction (LIP) Score improves the predictive value for development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in ICU patients. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Adult patients admitted to the ICU on supplemental oxygen over baseline requirement with a LIP Score ≥6 will be included. Patients admitted to the ICU >24 hours, end-stage renal disease, decompensated heart failure, or <100 µL plasma available will be excluded. Whole blood will be collected from the core lab, centrifuged, and plasma will be stored at -80°C. Protein biomarkers will be measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Baseline characteristics, laboratory values, ventilator parameters, and clinical outcomes will be collected from the medical record. ARDS will be defined by the Berlin criteria. Machine learning methods will be used to identify the model with the highest predictive accuracy. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of each model will be compared to the LIP Score. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Research is in progress. Plasma samples and clinical data have been collected for 148 of the 160 samples required to achieve power. Biomarker analysis will take place after sample collection is complete. We anticipate a machine learning model incorporating laboratory values and one or more plasma biomarkers into the LIP Score will outperform the baseline LIP Score for prediction of ARDS development. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Delayed diagnosis and intervention contribute to poor ARDS outcomes. Current predictive models for ARDS have low accuracy and enriching these models with plasma biomarkers may increase their predictive value. Development of accurate models may facilitate earlier ARDS diagnosis and intervention as well as enrichment strategies for ARDS trials.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Antibodies play an important role in the pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and infections. There are currently no reliable methods to isolate and study specific plasma cell subpopulations as antibody production sources. We aim to develop methods to study plasma cells in high resolution. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We will use molecular cloning to engineer fusion proteins that would bind plasma cell proteins to study these cells based on their surface features. The first phase of our study consists of assessing the efficacy of this plasma cell isolation method in established cell lines (e.g., RPMI 8226) and also antibody-secreting cell lines that we are establishing as a part of this study. In the second phase of the study, we will assess the efficacy of this method by studying antigen-specific plasma cell populations in the bone marrow aspiration samples of 20 healthy volunteers using various assays, including ELISPOT, flow cytometry, and fluorescent microscopy. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: We have designed the constructs and have completed the cloning. The final plasmids have been verified using various restriction enzymes and Sanger sequencing. Following the transfection of Freestyle HEK 293F cells and isolation of respective proteins, we expect to be able to utilize these engineered proteins to differentiate various antibody-secreting plasma cells. We will use cell lines for proof-of-concept experiments and will subsequently move this method to human bone marrow samples. We expect to be able to visualize multiple specific antibody-secreting plasma cell populations using fluorescent microscopy and utilize this method to isolate them by cell sorting via flow cytometry. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We expect to be able to use this method to target specific plasma cell clones in the advancement of precision medicine regarding the treatment of plasma cell disorders (e.g., multiple myeloma) and also expand its use in other areas, such as antibody discovery and the assessment of the humoral immune responses in infectious diseases.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The dominant complication of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is clinically severe and commonly fatal pulmonary fibrosis (PF). We sought to determine the downstream regulatory role of the basic Helix-Loop-Helix protein 40 (bHLHe40), in response to Insulin-like Growth Factor II (IGF-II) on Pro-Lysyl Oxidase cleavage products. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: We examined the response of primary pulmonary fibroblasts cultured from the lungs of control donors and SSc lung explants to IGF-II as well as human recombinant Lysyl Oxidase Propeptide (LOX-PP). In addition, we utilized an experimentally-induced model of lung fibrosis with intratracheal bleomycin administration. We used qPCR and immunoblotting to quantify mRNA and protein levels, respectively. We used sequence-specific small-interfering RNA to silence targeted genes. Immunoblots were quantified in ImageJ (NIH) and statistical analyses were performed in GraphPad Prism. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: IGF-II regulates levels of Pro-LOX, active LOX, and LOX-PP, as well as isoforms of proteases Bone Morphogenetic Protein 1 (BMP1) and Tolloid-like 1 (TLL1). The transcription factorbHLHe40 localizes to the nucleus in response to IGF-II. bHLHe40 silencing downregulated TLL1, abrogating the enzymatic cleavage of Pro-LOX. SSc lungs have higher baseline levels of the total (N-glycosylated/unglycosylated) LOX-PP than normal lung tissues, and baseline levels of LOX-PP correlated with TLL1 Isoform 2 in SSc lungs. LOX-PP contributes to the development and progression of SSc-PF by mediating changes consistent with the extracellular matrix deregulation implicated in SSc-PF: elevated levels of Collagen 3A1 (COL3A1), Fibronectin-1 (FN1), and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI1). DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings indicate that bHLHe40, TLL1, and LOX-PP may serve as targets of therapeutic intervention to stop the progression of SSc-PF. Since activation of common fibrotic pathways are involved in different diseases characterized by lung fibrosis such as IPF, our findings may have wider implications for lung fibrosis associated with other diseases.
