Fungal β-glucans are well-known for their immunomodulatory activity. They act as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and can bind to a number of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). Activation of PRRs leads to inflammatory response and, although these receptors are primarily found in immune cells, chondrocytes express certain types of PRRs as well (toll-like receptors –TLRs). Although β-glucans are primarily considered immune­stimulatory agents, recent research found that they may have beneficial effects in some inflammatory conditions (hence the term “immunomodulators”), in a complex way that is yet to be uncovered. The aim of this study was to investigate if the mushroom β-glucans could induce any changes in metabolic activity and phenotype of bovine chondrocytes, using a 3D cell culture model. For this purpose, glucan-enriched extract of mosaic puffball fruiting bodies, containing up to 70% (1→6)(1→3)β-D-glucan-protein complex was used.
