| Abstract | Systems biology combines experimental data with computational modelling to describe complex biological mechanisms and pathways. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs—chemopreventive compounds produced in the colon lumen) impair microtubule (MT) function in colon cancer cells by altering the relative expression of β-tubulin isotypes. The β-tubulin isotype composition along MT fibres is believed to contribute to a “tubulin code” defining which microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and kinesins are recruited and the arrangement of tubulin post-transcriptional modifications (PTMs) along the fibre, which in turn dictate many critical cellular functions. SCFAs drive acetylation of many proteins by virtue of being histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi's). Known acetyl-proteins include transcription factors and cytoplasmic cytoskeletal keratins as well as histones. Disruption of the MT cytoskeleton is a prime target of many cancer therapies including anti-microtubule drugs (AMD). This review focuses on SCFAs as HDACi's and how they might affect tubulin dynamics, modifications and isotypes. It discusses the evolution of mechanistic models that have helped improve understanding of tubulin–MT structure and dynamics and how to develop these models, combined with those describing transcription and the cell cycle, could provide hypotheses for how SCFAs disrupt cytoskeletal function. The review demonstrates how systems biology could offer potentially novel ideas for therapies in the prevention and treatment of cancers through the continued development and elaboration of such models. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
