Yeast β-glucan has been widely used as a dietary supplement for its multiple biological activities, including immune stimulation. Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that yeast chs3Δ spores exposed in the glucan layer can activate immune effects more effectively than trophoblasts. However, chs3Δ spores are formed within the ascospores and are encapsulated by the ascospore cell wall, which greatly limits their direct application. [Objective] To explore whether the lysates of chs3Δ asci have the potential to be used as novel immune-stimulating dietary supplements. [Methods] We prepared chs3Δ asci lysates by ultrasonic freeze drying, enzymatic freeze drying, and enzymatic-assisted ultrasonic freeze drying and then explored their immune effects in depth. [Results] The chs3Δ asci lysate prepared by ultrasonic freeze drying induced the highest level of inflammatory cytokines compared with the vegetative cell lysate and chs3Δ spores, and the asci lysate achieved immunostimulatory responses through activation of Dectin-1 receptor. Further studies showed that the chs3Δ asci lysate also exhibited immunostimulatory activity and trained immunity-inducing ability in mice. [Conclusion] The chs3Δ asci lysate has great potential as a highly effective immunostimulatory dietary supplement.
