Transcriptome analysis reveals immune and metabolic regulation effects of polysaccharides on larvae.

polysaccharides (PS) have been used as Chinese traditional medicine with various pharmacological effects, including antiviral, anti-oxidative, and immunomodulatory activities. Herein silkworm was used as a model animal to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of PS detecting the changes of innate immune parameters and explore the underlying molecular mechanism of the immunoregulatory effect of PS using Illumina HiSeq Xten platform. The results presented here demonstrated that a hemocoel injection of PS significantly enhanced the cellular immunity of silkworm, including hemocyte phagocytosis, microaggregation, and spreading ability.

-{1-Butyl-3-[2-(phenyl-sulfan-yl)eth-yl]-4-imidazolin-2-yl-κ ,'}di-chlorido-platinum(II).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PtCl(CHNS)], comprises one Pt ion, one -heterocyclic carbene(NHC)-thio-ether ligand and two chloride ions. The Pt ion is four-coordinated by one C atom and one S atom of the NHC-thio-ether ligand, and by two chloride ions, forming an approximately square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a layer parallel to the plane.
