Pancreatic stellate cell‐potentiated insulin secretion from Min6 cells is independent of interleukin 6‐mediated pathway

Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) secrete various factors, which can influence the β‐cell function. The identification of stellate cell infiltration into the islets in pancreatic diseases suggests possible existence of cross‐talk between these cells. To elucidate the influence of PSCs on β‐cell function, mouse PSCs were cocultured with Min6 cells using the Transwell inserts. Glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion from Min6 cells in response to PSCs...
