Pathology Narrative Draft Electron Microscopy Report Covance Study No. 6329-223 Recovery Sacrifice Animals DRAFT PATHOLOGY REPORT (ANCILLARY STUDY) ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC EVALUATION OF LIVER IN CYNOMOLGUS MONKEYS (RECOVERY ANIMALS) 26-WEEK CAPSULE TOXICITY STUDY WITH PERFLUOROOCTANE SULFONIC ACID POTASSIUM SALT (PFOS;T-6295) IN CYNOMOLGUS MONKEYS CLIENT STUDY NUMBER 6329-223 PAI STUDY NUMBER EM 99.76 SUMMMARY Two male and two female cvnomolgus monkeys treated for 26 weeks with 0.75 mg/kg PFOS were removed from treatment for up to 53 weeks. Liver samples obtained by biopsy at Week 57 and necropsy at Week 79 were examined for reversibility, persistence, or delayed occurrence of toxic effects. Light and electron microscopic evaluation of livers identified no pathological changes. The treatment-related changes of hepatocellular hypertrophy and vacuolation. noted at 26 weeks and characterized ultrastructurally by increased numbers of lipid droplets within hepatocytes, had completely disappeared during the recovery period. PROCEDURES The objective of this study was to examine by electron microscopy the livers from selected animals in a 26-week capsule toxicity study with PFOS in cvnomolgus monkeys. In addition to a general qualitative evaluation for differences between control and treated animals, the ultrastructural endpoints included quantitation of peroxisomes within hepatocytes and membrane and mitochondrial changes in hepatocytes. Light microscopy of paraffin-embedded liver sections was also performed. This report details the light and electron microscopy findings in the four high-dose male and female monkeys designated as recovery animals. A previous report (dated 6-24 1999) indicated that treatment of cvnomolgus monkeys with 0.75 mg PFOS/kg/day for 26 weeks resulted in hepatocellular vacuolation and hypertrophy by light microscopy. Hepatocellular vacuolation and hypertrophy were primarily centrilobular in distribution and did varv in incidence and severity between individual animals. Ultrastructurally, there were increased lipid droplets within hepatocytes. Increased lipid droplets were 1-1 Draft Electron Microscopy Report Covance Study No. 6329-223 Recovery Sacrifice Animals present in both the high-dose males examined and in two of four high-dose females examined. Increased hepatocellular glycogen was present in the remaining two high-dose females. These ultrastructural changes correlated with hepatocellular hypertrophy and vacuolation noted by light microscopy and with increased liver weight parameters in the high-dose animals. The no-effect level for hepatocellular vacuolation (lipid droplet accumulation) was 0.15 mg/kg/day of PFOS (mid-dose group). Quantitation of peroxisomes within hepatocytes by electron microscopy indicated no remarkable differences between control livers and livers treated with 0.03, 0.15, or 0.75 mg PFOS/kg/day. Ultrastructural differences in cellular membranes or mitochondria were not discernible between control and treated animals in the samples examined. The recovery animals were examined to assess for reversibility or persistence of these hepatocellular changes, or for the delayed occurrence of additional PFOS-induced effects. For the toxicity study, 22 male and 22 female cynomolgus monkeys were given the test article or the vehicle once daily for at least 26 weeks according to Text Table 1. Text T able 1.

The low-dose group (Group 2) received the test material diluted with lactose ( 1:499, w:w). The mid-dose (Group 3 ) and high-dose (Group 4) groups received the test material diluted with lactose (1:39. w:w). d Two animals in Groups 1. 3. and 4. designated as recovery animals, were treated tor at least 26 weeks, then treatment was discontinued and the animals were observed for reversibility, persistence, or delayed occurrence of toxic effects tor at least 52 weeks posttreatment. During Week 57 (approximately 31 weeks into the recovery period), the 2 high-dose recovery males and 2 high-dose recovery females were anesthetized and liver biopsies were surgically obtained from each animal and chemically preserved and processed as described below. Dunns Week 79. the 4 high-dose recovery animals w'ere necropsied and liver samples obtained as described below. The two control recovery animals were returned to the Covance stock animal colony, and the two Group HI animals were transferred to a subsequent study (Covance 6329-268). Liver samples were not obtained and examined in the control recovery or Group HI recovery animals. Animals to be sacrificed at recovery sacrifice times were anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine. weighed, exsanguinated, and necropsied. Multiple tissues were collected and preserved in 10% neutral-buffered formalin according to the protocol. Additionally, 1-2 Draft Electron Microscopy Report Covance Study No. 6329-223 Recovery Sacrifice Animals pieces of liver from each animal were thin-sliced and placed in Vz strength Kamovsky's fixative (2.0% paraformaldehyde/2.5% glutaraldehvde in 0.1M phosphate buffer) for subsequent ultrastructural examination. These livers were processed into Epon blocks and submitted to this laboratory for subsequent electron microscopy processing and evaluation. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slide sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded livers were submitted for light microscopic examination. The four high-dose recovery animals are listed in Text Table 2. For each animal, there was a 57-Week liver biopsy sample and a 79-Week terminal necropsy liver sample. Text Table 2. Recovery Animals Examined by Light and Electron Microscopy 0.75 ma/ka/dav PFOS (Group 4 Hiah-Dose) Males Females 105511 105533 105522 105542 Thin sections (approximately 90 nm) from the Epon-embedded livers were cut, mounted on 200-mesh copper grids, stained with 5% methanolic uranyl acetate and Reynold's lead citrate, and examined on a Zeiss 900 transmission electron microscope. Centrilobular hepatocytes. where clearly identifiable in liver sections, were preferentially examined. Representative electron photomicrographs of liver were taken and significant ultrastructural features were summarized for each photograph and animal on a designated transmission electron micrograph interpretation form. The number of peroxisomes in hepatocytes was manually counted for each center photographed hepatocyte and recorded. For light microscopy, the H&E slides from the same animals selected for electron microscopy were evaluated and significant features were summarized on a light microscopic evaluation torm. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Individual interpretations of light microscopy slides and electron micrographs for each animal are shown in Section II. Representative electron photomicrographs were selected as report figures, labeled, and are shown in Section III. All remaining electron micrographs are separately attached to this report. Light Microscopy A summary of the incidence and severity of light microscopic findings in the control and high-dose livers is shown in Text Table 3. There were no microscopic findings that appeared to be associated with test material administration. Hepatocellular hypertrophy and vacuolation, noted after 26 weeks of treatment in some high-dose animals, were not identified in recovery samples at either the 57-Week biopsy or 79-Week terminal necropsy samples, indicating complete reversal of the light microscopic liver changes. 1-3 Draft Electron Microscopy Report Covance Study No. 6329-223 Recovery Sacrifice Animals The liver findings noted in the recovery animals were considered normal background histopathologv of cvnomolgus monkeys.

Liver. Hepatocyte. 15,290X. This hepatocyte has a small round central nucleus. The surrounding cytoplasm contains numerous round to oval mitochondria and several small to large lipid droplets. The darker round organelles, mostly slightly smaller than the mitochondria, are peroxisomes. Twenty-four (24) peroxisomes counted. The intervening cytosol contains profiles of endoplasmic reticulum and some fine granules, which may be glycogen. Z18824. Liver. 10.320X. Portions of three cells are present. The dorsal two hepatocytes exhibit a mixture of normal appearing cytoplasmic elements, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and scattered peroxisomes. The larger ventral cell's cytoplasm contains irregular clear spaces surrounded by membranous material. Only a couple of mitochondria are evident, and this cell is probably not a hepatocyte. Around the periphery are several large structures containing finely granular and reticular material. This may represent smooth endoplasmic reticulum intermixed with glycogen and/or ribosomes. It appears to be membrane bound, but this may be a pseudomembrane caused by compacting of the surrounding cytoplasm. Or, these structures may represent cytoplasmic invaginations of extracellular material such as plasma. The nuclear profiles in these cells appear normal. Peroxisomes were not counted in this electron micrograph because an individual hepatocyte showing most of its cytoplasm is not present. Z18825. Liver. Hepatocyte. 10,320X. This hepatocyte is polygonal with a round central nucleus. Its surrounding cytoplasm contains numerous mitochondria and a few small lipid droplets. The intervening cytoplasm contains profiles of endoplasmic reticulum, scattered fine glycogen granules, and some dark round peroxisomes. Twenty-two (22) peroxisomes counted. Three adjacent hepatocytes appear essentially normal. At the bottom right of the photograph is a finely granular structure, which is outside of the centered hepatocyte and appears similar to that described in Z18224. Z18826. Liver. Hepatocyte. 10,320X. This hepatocyte is bordered by an extracellular space along its right margin.
