The extent of chemically induced injury to isolated hypatocytes has been previously shown to depend on the content of α-tocopherol in the cells, the levels of which are influenced by the concentration of extracellular calcium. Investigations into the effect of calcium on the α-tocopherol content of nonchemically exposed cells demonstrated that incubation of isolated hepatocytes in a calcium-deficient medium decreased cell calcium content to 10% of initial levels, and resulted in the depletion of endogenous α-tocopherol. This loss in α-tocopherol was not accounted for by α-tocopherylquinone formation. After supplementation of the cell incubation medium with α-tocopheryl succinate, the decreased cell calcium content was associated with higher levels of cellular α-tocopherol than in calcium-adequate cells. This was the result of greater intracellular hydrolysis of the tocopheryl ester in the calcium-depleted cells, and not an effect of extracellular calcium concentration on the uptake of α-tocopheryl succinate into the cells or on the extracellular hydrolysis of the ester. Uptake studies indicated a much greater achievable level of α-tocopherol in hepatocytes after incubation with α-tocopherol than with the α-tocopheryl ester. These data provide substantial support for the hypotheses that the content of extracellular calcium per se is not the determinant in toxic injury to hepatocytes, but that cell calcium content affects the intracellular metabolism of α-tocopherol and its esters, which may subsequently govern the outcome of a toxic challenge.
