β-glucans induce MMP7 via Dectin-1. MMP-7 was measured by ELISA in the cell supernatant of B-lymphocytes after stimulation with different β-glucan preparations: Curdlan (Curd), Zymosan (Zym), Aspergillus fumigatus (AspG) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SacG) (A) and after stimulation with Curdlan for different periods of time (B). MMP-7 measured by ELISA of B-lymphocytes pre-incubated with laminarin (1 mg/ml) (C); or anti-Dectin-1 antibody (5 μg/ml) (D). Data are representative of at least three independent experiments. *p < 0.001.
