The increasing use of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in various fields highlights the need to investigate the test toxicity of these nanoparticles in humans. Previous documents showed that SWCNT induced oxidative stress. Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause cell dysfunction and reduced insulin secretion. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of SWCNT on oxidative stress and insulin secretion of islets also evaluate the protective effects of berberine (BBR) and berberine nanoparticles (NP-BBR) as antioxidants on pancreatic β-islets. Double emulsion with solvent evaporation was the technique used to prepare nanoparticles in this study. Islets were isolated and pretreated with various concentrations of BBR and NP-BBR and then treated with single dose of SWCNT (160 μg). The results of this study showed that SWCNT decreased cell viability based on MTT assay, reduced insulin secretion of islets, increased malondialdehyde (MDA) amounts, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, whereas pretreatment of islets with low doses of BBR (5 and 15 μM) and NP-BBR (5 μM) significantly reversed all changes induced by SWCNT. These findings suggested that SWCNT might trigger other pathways involved in insulin secretion by activating the oxidative stress pathway in the pancreatic islets, reducing insulin secretion, consequently diabetes. BBR and NP-BBR as antioxidants were able to protect pancreatic β-islets and prevent the progression of diabetes.
