Fig. S2. Ca2+-free conditions prevent H2O2-stimulated insulin secretion and GSIS in INS-1(832/13) cells. Cells were pre-incubated with Ca2+-free Kreb’s buffer (140 mM NaCl, 30 mM HEPES, 4.6 mM KCl, 1 mM MgSO4, 0.15 mM Na2HPO4, 5 mM NaHCO3, 100 µM EGTA and 0.05% BSA, pH 7.4) containing 3 mM glucose for 30 min. Then the buffers were replaced with Ca2+-free Krebs’ buffer containing secretagogues and followed by a 30 min-incubation. n = 4.

Fig. S4. Cytotoxicity of HNE, MGO and arsenite in INS-1 (832/13) cells and isolated mouse islets. Cell viability was measured by MTT assay. (A-C) INS-1 (832/13) cells were cultured on 96-wells plate overnight and followed by treatment with the agents for 24 hrs; D. Isolated islets (20 islets/well) were incubated with arsenite for 24 hrs and viability was measured.

Glucose (mM)
Fig. S5. Glucose autoxidation is a powerful source of H2O2 generation in vitro. A) Glucose dose-dependently increases H2O2 production in PBS or Kreb’s buffer. Different concentrations of glucose were incubated in PBS or Kreb’s buffer at 37˚C for 30 min. The H2O2 levels were measured using Amplex Red Hydrogen Peroxide/ Peroxidase Assay Kit (Molecular Probes) and the fluorescence intensity (λEx = 545 nm; λEm = 590 nm) was measured by VICTOR 3 1420 Multilabel Counter (Perkin Elmer, Finland). Kreb’s, glucose was incubated in Kreb’s buffer; PBS, glucose was incubated in PBS; Kreb’s+CAT, glucose was incubated in Kreb’s buffer containing 20 U/ml of catalase; PBS+CAT, glucose was incubated in PBS containing 20 U/ml of catalase. B) Glucose time-dependently increases H2O2 production in PBS. 20 mM glucose+CAT, 20 mM glucose was incubated in PBS containing 20 U/ml of catalase.

Fig. S6. Block of mitochondrial electron transport chain results in H2O2 accumulation, decreased ATP generation and impaired GSIS in INS-1 (832/13) cells. Rot, rotenone, a complex I inhibitor; Ant, antimycin A, a complex III inhibitor; Oli, oligomycin, a blocker of mitochondria ATPase and phosphoryl group transfer. The cells were treated with rotenone (1 µM), antimycin A (2 µM), or oligomycin (1 µg/ml) in Kreb’s buffer with 3 mM glucose for 30 min and followed by glucose stimulation (3 mM vs. 20 mM) in the same buffer system for 30 min. *, p < 0.05 compared with 3 mM glucose alone; #, p < 0.05 compared with 20 mM glucose alone.
