Even though most data is available regarding MC activation by various bacteria- or virus-derived molecules, those cells' activity in response to constituents associated with fungi is not recognized enough. Our research aimed to address whether Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived zymosan, i.e., β-(1,3)-glucan containing mannan particles, impacts MC activity aspects. Overall, the obtained results indicate that zymosan has the potential to elicit a pro-inflammatory response of rat peritoneal MCs. For the first time ever, we provided evidence that zymosan induces fully mature MC migration, even in the absence of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Moreover, the zymosan-induced migratory response of MCs is almost entirely a result of directional migration, i.e., chemotaxis. We found that zymosan stimulates MCs to degranulate and generate lipid mediators (cysLTs), cytokines (IFN-α, IFN-β, IFN-γ, GM-CSF, TNF), and chemokine (CCL2). Zymosan also upregulated mRNA transcripts for several cytokines/chemokines with pro-inflammatory/immunoregulatory activity. Moreover, we documented that zymosan activates MCs to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS). Lastly, we established that the zymosan-induced MC response is mediated through activation of the Dectin-1 receptor. In general, our results strongly support the notion that MCs contribute to innate antifungal immunity and bring us closer to elucidate their role in host-pathogenic fungi interactions. Besides, provided findings on IgE-sensitized MCs appear to indicate that exposure to fungal zymosan could affect the severity of IgE-dependent disorders, including allergic ones.
