Introduction The research presented in this report was designed to elucidate the mechanism(s) that initiate peroxisomal proliferation in rats, but not necessarily in guinea pigs or primates, by some 3M fluorochemicals. The research objectives were to determine if the fluorochemicals disrupt the function of liver fatty acid binding proteins (L-FABPs) in both rats and guinea pigs and if so, to what extent. The intermediate objectives were to investigate the hypothesis that FC compounds alter L-FABP levels and/or functionality and that it is the disruption o f fatty acid processing leading to higher levels of unassociated long chain fatty acids in the cytoplasm, and that rats and guinea pigs will respond differently. Further objectives were to investigate and compare the molecular mechanisms o f peroxisome proliferation in rats and guinea pigs. Three fluorochemicals; perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS, T-6295), vV-ethyl perfluorooctanesulfonamido ethanol (iV-EtFOSE, T-6316) and perfluorooctanoate (APFO, T6889) were tested in this study that were either previously known (Sohlenius et al. 1994; Sohlenius et al. 1993) or suspected to cause peroxisome proliferation in the rat. The hypothesis tested was that these fluorochemicals would induce peroxisome proliferation in the rat, but not the guinea pig, and the data supported that hypothesis. The effect of these compounds on peroxisome proliferation in the rat, but not the guinea pig were presented in an abstract and poster presented at the Society o f Toxicology meeting in 2001 (Wallace etal. 2001). Other investigators using these fluorochemicals have also subsequently shown peroxisome proliferation with some of these compounds in vivo in rats or or in-vitro (Maloney and Waxman 1999; Yang et al. 2002; Berthiaume and Wallace 2002).
L-FABPs isolated from certain rats and guinea pigs dosed in the current study were used to investigate the effect of those fluorochemicals on the binding o f a fluorescently labeled probe to L-LFABP. The detailed methods, results and conclusions o f the L-FABP analyses were published elsewhere (Nabbefeld 1998; Luebker et al. 2002), and are only briefly mentioned in the results and discussion section o f this report.
Guinea pigs may serve as better surrogate models for human risk assessment than do other rodents because, like humans, they are resistant to peroxisome proliferation. However, the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that differentiate the response o f these species to peroxisome proliferators in general and for the perfluorosulfonamides in particular is unclear. Therefore, the specific aims o f this study were to:
1. Characterize the peroxisomal enzyme and fatty acid binding proteins response in the liver to these compounds
2. Perform toxicity tests such as serum clinical chemistry and to liver histology that may indicate an explanation for any the species differences in response to these compounds.
3. Correlate any observed alterations o f the above functions to liver and serum levels of perfluorosulfonamides and their metabolites.
Methods
This study, (DT-15A) was conducted in three segments, parts A, B and C under a broadly written protocol dated 9/18/1997 that had been approved by the 3M institutional animal use

committee (3MIACUC Animal use application # 2088). Part A consisted o f a study designed to compare the toxicity and peroxisomal proliferation in male rats and male guinea pigs dosed via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection with PFOS or APFO. The results o f Part A led to further testing under part B, which consisted o f a dose-response and time-course for the observed effects of PFOS in both male and female rats and guinea pigs dosed via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. The results o f parts A and B led to the conclusion that i.p. dosing was not the best route of administration, therefore an exploratory oral dosing procedure in rats was performed with NEtFOSE in PartC
Test Materials The T-numbers, chemical names, abbreviations used for these samples, and the chemical
structures o f each o f the compounds that were tested in this study are given below. The currently accepted abbreviations and the ones generally used in this report for each compound are in bold:
1. Vehicle control (2% Tween 80).
2. T-6295:
Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid, potassium salt (perfluorooctanesulfonate),
PFOS, FC-95, Formula: C8F17S 0 3- K+, MW = 538.1 g/mole).

5. Wyeth-14643 (WY, MW = 323.79 g/mol) was obtained from Chemsyn Science Laboratories, Lexena, KS. Wyeth-14643 (WY), was added to DT15A as positive control dose group for hepatic peroxisome proliferation.
The protocol stated that T-6868, N-ethyl perfluorooctane sulfonamide (FX-12, Sulfuramide TM), Formula CsFi7S 0 2NHC2H s) would be tested, however, T-6868 was not tested in DT15-A.
Procedures
Part A: Procedures for a single intraperitoneal dosing of PFOS fT-62951 and APFO fT-6889! in male rats and guinea pigs.
For part A, a total o f 15 male rats and 13 male guinea pigs, 6-8 weeks in age and weighing between 150 and 250 grams were purchased from Charles River. Three to four male rats or guinea pigs per treatment group were used. Following an adaptation period o f not less than one week after arrival at 3M, animals were administered treatments by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection,

SRPT T-6295.8, T-6889.1, T-6316.4 DT15-A
at equimolar doses that were less than 40% o f the rat oral LD 50 for PFOS or the rat i.p. 24 hour LD 50 for APFO.
There were solubility problems in com oil for the compounds. Therefore, doses o f each test material at 32 mM in 2% Tween-80 and using a dose volume o f 5 mL/Kg were used. The doses were calculated to be to the highest dose that could be delivered at less than 40% of the LD 50 for each test material. The selection o f these dose levels is discussed further in the protocol. Fresh solutions o f test substances were prepared for each dosing. The dose groups and final number o f animals in each dose group were as follows:
1. Control groups. The vehicle control group consisted of 2 male rats and three male guinea pigs. Each animal in the vehicle control group received a single i.p. injection 2% Tween-80. In addition, a no treatment control group consisted of two male rats that received no treatment were included in the study to check for any pronounced effects o f the vehicle control on the subtle endpoints of gene induction planned for this study. The biological and clinical chemistry data from the vehicle control group and the no treatment control rats were combined.
2. PFOS. A single i.p. injection o f 32 mM PFOS in 2% Tween-80 (final concentration =17.4 mg PFOS/mL) was given at a volume of 5 mL/Kg (final dose ~ 87.15 mg/Kg) to a total three male rats and four male guinea pigs.
3. APFO. A single i.p. injection of 32 mM APFO in 2% Tween-80 (final concentration =13.8 mg APFO/mL) was given at a volume of 5 mL/Kg (final dose ~ 70 mg/Kg) to a total four male rats and three male guinea pigs.
4. Wyeth-14643 (WY). A single i.p. injection o f WY in corn oil (final concentration = 52.45 mg/mL W Y ) was given at a volume o f 1 mL/Kg (final dose ~ 52.3 mg/Kg) to a total four male rats and three male guinea pigs.
Example dose calculation for 32 mM PFOS i.p. at 5 ml/Kg, assuming an average weight o f 350 g for the guinea pig this came to: (0.35 kg)(0.005 L/kg)(538.1 g/mol)(0.032 mol/L) = 30.1 mg/guinea pig, or approximately 86 mg/Kg PFOS.
All animals were observed for mortality and signs o f toxicity during the first four hours after dosing, at 24 hours and daily thereafter for the duration o f the study. Body weights were recorded immediately prior to dosing, daily thereafter, and at necropsy. Following the first exposure and up to four times throughout the in-life phase o f the study, the animals were housed individually in metabolic cages overnight, and urine and feces were collected. Animals were sacrificed by CO2 and gross necropsy performed on either day 12 or day 14 post-dose. Organ tissues (liver, kidney, testes and pancreas) and urine and feces were stored frozen at -80C for biochemical analysis. Sections of liver kidney, testes and pancreas were placed in 10% buffered formaldehyde and submitted for histological analyses by light microscopy. Some livers were perfused with gluteraldehyde and submitted for histological analysis by electron microscopy. Blood samples were collected at necropsy by heart puncture to analyze for test compound, metabolite formation and to monitor for changes in blood chemistry.

Part B: Procedures for a Time-Course o f PFOS (T-6295) toxicity in male and female rats and guinea pigs following a single i.p. injection o f PFOS at two doses.
Based on the results of Part A (discussed below) the doses, dose volumes, and the time points chosen for sample analyses were modified. A time course o f 3, 6,12 and 28 days was conducted to measure peroxisome proliferation induction in the liver o f male and female rats and guinea pigs treated with either 16 mg/Kg or 100 mg/Kg PFOS.
A total of 22 rats and 20 guinea pigs, 12 male and 10 female rats, and 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs, 6-8 weeks in age and weighing between 150 and 250 grams were purchased from Charles River. Following an adaptation period o f not less than one week after arrival at 3M, animals were administered treatments by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection.
Eight rats and eight guinea pigs (4/sex) were treated in each fluorochemical dose group. The dose groups were 16 mg/Kg PFOS and 100 mg/Kg PFOS. To limit the volume o f the i.p. injection, a 100 mg/mL suspension of PFOS was made by dissolving 200 mg PFOS in 0.5 mL com oil then adding 1.5 ml 2% Tween 80 and creating an emulsion in a glass tissue grinder. A single i.p. injection o f the 100 mg/mL PFOS suspension was given at a volume o f 1 mL/Kg to the 100 mg/Kg dose group animals, and at a volume o f 0.16 mL/Kg to the animals in the 16 mg/Kg dose group. One animal per sex per species per fluorochemical dose group were sacrificed on days 3, 6,12 and 28 post-dose.
Two animals per sex per species received the vehicle control (25% com oil in 2% Tween 80), one vehicle control animal each at a volume o f volume o f 1 mL/Kg, corresponding to the 100 mg/Kg dose group animals, and at 0.16 mL/Kg, corresponding to the 16 mg/Kg dose group. One animal per sex per species per dose group were sacrificed on days 3, 6,12 and 28 post-dose.
Two male rats received WY as a positive control group. One of the positive control rats received a single i.p. injection o f a 100 mg/mL suspension o f WY at a volume o f 1 mL/Kg to for a total dose or 100 mg/Kg WY. The other positive control rat received a single i.p. injection o f a 100 mg/mL suspension o f WY at a volume o f 0.16 mL/Kg for a total dose o f 16 mg/Kg dose group WY. The positive control group rats were sacrificed on day 3 post-dose.
Part C Procedures for hepatic peroxisomal gene induction following oral dosing o f N-EtFOSE in rats.
The results o f parts A and B led to the conclusion that i.p. dosing was not the best route of administration, therefore an exploratory oral dosing procedure in rats was performed with NEtFOSE in Part C. The purpose was to generate samples for peroxisomal gene induction assays in liver, and for N-EtFOSE metabolite analysis in liver and serum. A dose of 20 mg/Kg/day NEtFOSE for two days was chosen as an initial screening dose. This dose was based on a dietary study with 300 ppm N-EtFOSE that caused liver effects and induced palmitoyl Co A oxidase activity in liver over a 4-week period in which the average N-EtFOSE consumption in the dietary study was calculated to be approximately 23 mg/Kg/day for the second week o f the study (Ref. 3M Medical Dept. T-6316.1). Three male rats were dosed with 20 mg/Kg/day N-EtFOSE for two days. A 4 mg/mL suspension of N-EtFOSE in 2% Tween 80 was prepared in a glass

tissue grinder and delivered to the rats by oral gavage at a dose volume of 5 mL/Kg for two consecutive days. Two rats were dosed with the vehicle control, 2% Tween 80at a dose volume of 5 mL/Kg for two consecutive days. The animals were euthanized and necropsied on day 3 post-dose. Livers were weighed and chunks o f liver were frozen in liquid nitrogen then put in polypropylene vials, placed on dry ice and then stored at -80. Serum was obtained by centrifugation from blood collected by heart puncture at necropsy and stored at -80 The ~ 2g liver samples that were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen were sent on dry ice for analysis of gene induction to:

Results and Discussion
Part A Results on the Toxicity o f PFOS and APFO in rats and guinea pies.
Results: Rats Part A In rats, there were no statistically significant changes in body weight. Liver weight and liver-tobody weight ratios were increased following treatment with all three compounds, particularly APFO; however, these changes were not statistically significant (Table 1; Appendix 1).
The serum clinical chemistry analysis revealed that cholesterol was lowered to below the limit of detection o f 45 mg/dL in rats treated with PFOS. Glucose was significantly lowered in rats treated with PFOS and WY. No statistically significant changes occurred in the clinical chemistry parameters o f rats treated with APFO.
The histological results for 3 out o f four rats treated i.p. with 52 mg/Kg WY (Animal numbers 7R4845 7R4847 and 7R4837) showed macroscopic masses o f white spots on the liver surface covered in thin scar tissue and evidence o f mononuclear infiltration. Multifocal microscopic subchronic granulomas were noted.
The histological results for rats treated i.p. with APFO (animal numbers 7R04851-53) showed enlarged livers and kidneys. Macroscopic lesions o f mottled black spots on one liver were noted (7R04851). Microscopically, this animal had a pad o f scar tissue with an imbedded granuloma on the liver surface.
The histological results for one rat treated with PFOS (7R04838) showed signs o f liver damage repair. All other rats, including the control group rats, had no significant change present in liver, kidney, or pancreas.

Results: Guinea pies Part A One guinea pig (Animal number 7G0253) that was treated with 100 mg/Kg APFO died overnight following treatment. No tissues were collected from that animal and the initial body weight (358 g) o f that animal is not included in the tables or statistical analyses. The cause of death is unknown, but may have been compound related. The guinea pigs treated with PFOS had significantly lower weight gains compared to control. The guinea pigs treated with APFO had significantly greater liver to body weight ratios compared to control.
One o f four guinea pigs treated with 17.4 mg/Kg i.p. PFOS (7G02254) showed signs of liver damage repair. No significant changes were present in the liver, kidney, testes, or pancreas of any of the other guinea pigs examined microscopically (7G2004 through 7G2013). Tissues from two out o f three control guinea pigs (7G2255 & 7G2256) were never analyzed and were disposed of.
Liver samples submitted for L-FABP analysis from rats and guinea pies treated in Part A.
Certain liver samples from control and PFOS treated rats and guinea pigs were used for the isolation o f liver fatty acid binding protein at the University of San Francisco (Animals 7G02004-control guinea pig, 7G02005-PFOS guinea pig, 7R04844-control rat and 7R04848PFOS rat). The goal of the LFABP study was to assess the effect of FCs on L-FABP function as evaluated by the ability of the fluorescent fatty acid analogue 11- (5dimethylaminonapthalenesulphonyl) - undecanoic acid (DAUDA) to bind to L-FABP isolated from rats and guinea pigs treated and not treated with PFOS in vivo. Results showed a decreased maximum binding capacity of L-FABP from PFOS treated rats without an increase in Kd. The complete methods and the results o f those analyses are reported elsewhere (Luebker et al. 2002; Nabbefeld 1998).
Conclusions from Part A:
The histological results of liver damage with evidence of scar tissue on the surface o f the livers of some animals 12 or 14 days after treatment with WY, APFO, and/or PFOS led us to consider that the doses, dose volumes, route o f administration and the time points chosen for part A were not necessarily the best model for the objectives of the study. Further analyses o f tissues for total organic fluorine, electron microscopy, or peroxisome proliferation from part A were aborted and Part B was planned.
Part B: Results of Time-Course of PFOS toxicity at two doses in male and female rats and guinea pigs.
Results: Rats Part B All rats treated with either 16 mg/Kg or 100 mg/Kg PFOS gained weight following dosing and maintained body weights that were slightly less than control values (Table 3, Figures 1 and 2). Statistical analyses o f body weight suggested that there were no significant differences between treated and control, but had very little power because o f the low N (statistics not shown). Liver weights were increased in both male and female rats treated with 100 mg/Kg dose groups (Appendix 3). The liver to body weight ratios in rats were significantly increased in combined
8
SRPT T-6295.8, T-6889.1, T-6316.4 DT15-A
male and female liver to body weight ratio values from the 100 mg/Kg dose group versus control values (Table 5, Appendix 3). The female rats had more o f an increase in liver to body weight ratios than did the male rats. Hypertrophy and white pigmentation were noted by gross observation at necropsy in some o f the high dose group rats (Appendix 3). Kidney weights and kidney to BW ratios were not significantly affected in rats (Appendix 3).
Results: Guinea pigs Part B
PFOS was more toxic to guinea pigs than rats, and apparently more toxic to female guinea pigs than male guinea pigs. Three o f the four female guinea pigs, and one male guinea pig treated with 100 mg/Kg PFOS i.p. died on day 2 o f the study. The remaining female guinea pig lost 12% of its initial body weight by day 6 and was humanely euthanized on day 6. All other guinea pigs gained weight and maintained body weights that were slightly lower than control values throughout the time course (Table 4, Figure 4 ).The guinea pig kidney to body weight ratios from all animals, males and females combined, were significantly increased by treatment with 100 mg/Kg PFOS i.p. (Appendix III).
Female guinea pigs in particular were found to be very sensitive to PFOS toxicity, evidenced by the fact that three out o f four female guinea pigs died within the first 24 hours after dosing with a 100 mg/Kg dose o f PFOS in 25% com oil and 75% Tween 80 and the remaining female guinea pig lost weight up to day 6 post-dose. In contrast, one out o f four male guinea pig died after a i.p. dose of 100 mg/Kg dose of PFOS in 25% com oil and 75% Tween 80 at that dose, and the remaining 3 male guinea pigs survived and gained weight following treatment.
The administration o f the 100 mg/Kg PFOS dose mixed with 25% com oil may have contributed to the observed toxicity o f PFOS to guinea pigs dosed in part B. None o f the male guinea pigs died following i.p. administration of a 100 mg/Kg PFOS dose in 2% Tween 80 at a volume o f 5 mL/Kg, whereas one male and three female guinea pigs died when the same dose was delivered in 25% com oil at a volume o f lmL/ Kg. There is a precedent for delivery o f PFOS in com oil by oral gavage to be more toxic than when delivered in an aqueous solution. The use o f com oil in the dose preparation has previously led to a clear difference in the oral LD 50 of PFOS in rats. The rat 24 hour oral LD-50 for PFOS in a 20:80 acetone: com oil suspension was determined to be 251 mg/kg (Dean et al. 1978). In contrast, the rat oral LD-50 for PFOS in an aqueous suspension was determined to be 1.25 - 2.5 g/kg (Gabriel 1976). No deaths or gross lesions were observed 48 hours after dosing male and female rats with a single oral gavage dose o f 250 mg/kg aqueous suspensions o f PFOS (Goldenthal et a l 1979). Thus, the use o f a mixture of 25% com oil in an aqueous suspension of 2% Tween 80 as the vehicle to deliver PFOS may have contributed to the observed increased toxicity of PFOS to guinea pigs when compared to an 2% Tween 80 vehicle alone.
Conclusions for Part B:
Intraperitoneal administration of PFOS led to the formation o f scar tissue on the liver. The findings in this study led to the decision that i.p. dosing was not the appropriate route of administration, and that subsequent studies should be conducted following oral administration of these compounds.

Part C: Results Oral dosing o f rats with 20 mg/Kg N-EtFOSE There was no apparent effect of treatment on body weight or liver weight (Appendix IV). No signs of toxicity or liver effects were apparent by gross observations at necropsy. The rats used were o f different ages and initial body weights, therefore, statistics were not performed on these data. The liver specimens were analyzed for induction o f mRNA for peroxisome proliferation specific genes. There was no apparent indication o f gene induction by N-EtFOSE by Northern Blot analysis, however the total mRNA was partially degraded in all samples, therefore, a quantitative analysis o f the results was not performed. Further analysis o f these samples was aborted, and the tissues were disposed of. Conclusions Standard toxicity tests o f serum clinical chemistry and microscopic examination o f the liver obtained in Parts A o f this study indicated that male guinea pigs were more sensitive to the toxic effects o f PFOS and APFO than were male rats. In Part B, three out o f four female guinea pigs and one out of four male guinea pigs died overnight, and the remaining female guinea pig was sacrificed on day 6 due to excessive weight loss, following i.p treatment with 100 mg/Kg PFOS. In contrast, none o f the male or female rats died following alOO mg/Kg i.p. dose o f PFOS. These data showed that the guinea pigs, females in particular, were very sensitive to PFOS toxicity relative to rats. The findings in this study led to the conclusion that intraperitoneal dosing was not the appropriate route of administration, and that subsequent studies should be conducted following oral administration of these compounds to test the stated hypotheses. An initial oral dose study with 20 mg/Kg N-EtFOSE in male rats showed no apparent effects by gross observations therefore the doses were considered to be low as there were no apparent liver effects, and the gene induction studies were aborted. Therefore, Oral dosing and higher doses of N-EtFOSE were deemed necessary for future experiments.

7G02254 -A macroscopic pad of granulomatous inflammation present on the surface. It has a foamy appearance with pore contents being dissolved leaving. The matrix which remains is composed o f mononuclear cells, some o f which are engorged or vacuolated. The pad is covered by an increasingly thick layer of scar tissue. Scar tissue interfaces with the liver parenchyma. No change in liver parenchyma. A second smaller pad is present on another location o f the liver.
7G2255 & 7G2256 - never analyzed and disposed of. 7G2004 - 7G2013 - No significant changes were present in the liver, kidney, testes or pancreas.

Appendix 1. Deviations to the Protocol: 1. The protocol states that there would be Five male and five female rats and guinea pigs per treatment group, with 5 treatment groups for a total o f 50 rats and 50 guinea pigs. In Part A, only male animals were used. Three to four animals per treatment group were used and a total of 15 male rats and 13 male guinea pigs were used in Part A. In Part B, a total o f 20 rats and 20 guinea pigs, 10 males and 10 females per species were used. Thus, in both parts A and B, a total o f 35 rats and 33 guinea pigs were used. 2. The protocol stated that N-ethyl perfluorooctane sulfonamide (FX-12) and Nethylperfluorooctane sulfonamido ethanol (FC-10, N-EtFOSE, T-6316) would be dosed. These two dose groups were removed from the protocol, and a positive control, Wyeth14643 (WY), a model persoxisome proliferators, was added as a dose group.
3. The protocol stated that all treatments would be administered in corn oil. PFOS (T-6295) and APFO (T-6889) were administered in 2% Tween 80. Wyeth-14643 (WY) was administered in 25% com oil. 4. The protocol stated that Dunnett's t-test would be performed on all data. Student's t-test were performed instead where noted. 5. The protocol stated that all treatments would be given by i.p. dosing. Dosing by oral gavage was performed in Part C.
