Abstract
Inflammation and oxidative stress are important factors that cause islet β-cell dysfunction. STAT3 is not only a major factor in cell proliferation and differentiation, but also plays an important role in mediating inflammation. As a potent inhibitor of STAT3, the effect of Nifuroxazide (Nifu) on pancreatic islet cells in a high glucose environment has not been reported. In the present study, we used high concentration glucose-induced INS-1 cells to examine the effects of Nifu on high glucose-induced cell function by glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The effects of Nifu on high glucose-induced oxidative stress were recorded by oxidative factors and antioxidant factors. Simultaneously, the effect of Nifu on the inflammatory response, apoptosis, and STAT3/SOCS3 signal pathway were validated by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. Our study indicated that Nifu significantly improved cell vitality and insulin secretion of INS-1 cells induced by high glucose. We found Nifu significantly inhibited pro-oxidative factors (ROS, MDA) and promoted anti-oxidative factors (SOD, GSH-PX, CAT). Meanwhile, qRT-PCR and Western blot results showed that inflammatory and apoptosis factors were remarkably inhibited by Nifu. Further research indicated that Nifu clearly suppressed the activation of the STAT3/SOCS3 signaling pathway. In conclusion, Nifu can significantly improve the insulin secretion function, protect oxidative stress injury, and reduce inflammatory response and apoptosis in high glucose-induced INS-1 cells. Therefore, Nifu has a new positive effect on maintaining the normal function of pancreatic islet cells in a high glucose environment and provides new drug candidates for the treatment and prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
Microfluidics have been used to create "body-on-chip" systems to mimic in vivo cellular interactions with a high level of control. Most such systems rely on optical observation of cells as a readout. In this work we integrated a cell-cell interaction chip with online microchip electrophoresis immunoassay to monitor the effects of the interaction on protein secretion dynamics. The system was used to investigate the effects of adipocytes on insulin secretion. Chips were loaded with 190 000 3T3-L1 adipocytes and a single islet of Langerhans in separate chambers. The chambers were perfused at 300-600 nL/min so that adipocyte secretions flowed over the islets for 3 h. Adipocytes produced 80 μM of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFAs), a factor known to impact insulin secretion, at the islets. After perfusion, islets were challenged with a step change in glucose from 3 to 11 mM while monitoring insulin secretion at 8 s intervals by online immunoassay. Adipocyte treatment augmented insulin secretion by 6-fold compared to controls. The effect was far greater than comparable concentrations of NEFA applied to the islets demonstrating that adipocytes release multiple factors that can strongly potentiate insulin secretion. The experiments reveal that integration of chemical analysis with cell-cell interaction can provide valuable insights into cellular functions.
