| Abstract | Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an arboviral disease common in Southeast Asia encompassing a population of 3 billion people. Periodic outbreak of JE takes hundreds of lives. Children are major victims of JE. About one third of JE patients die, and many of the survivors suffer from permanent neuropsychiatric sequel, owing to the lack of specific therapeutic measure. Curcumin is a naturally occurring phenolic compound extracted from Curcuma longa L. Previous studies have reported that curcumin possesses strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral activity. We used Neuro2a cell line and infected them with JE virus. The infected cells were treated with varying doses of curcumin. Cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production within the cells, and change in cellular membrane integrity were studied. The changes in expression of some signaling and stress-related proteins were also assessed. We also studied the inhibitory role of curcumin on the production of infective viral particles by dysregulation of the ubiquitin–proteasome system. In this study, we found that curcumin imparts neuroprotection in vitro, probably by decreasing cellular reactive oxygen species level, restoration of cellular membrane integrity, decreasing pro-apoptotic signaling molecules, and modulating cellular levels of stress-related proteins. We have also shown that curcumin, by inhibition of ubiquitin–proteasome system causes reduction in infective viral particle production from previously infected neuroblastoma cells. |

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.
