| Abstract | UNLABELLED: Electrophilic eicosanoids are endogenous mediators that play complex roles in signaling and adaptive responses. Basal generation of these species contributes to cell homeostasis, whereas their increased generation under situations of oxidative stress may contribute to cell adaptation or cytoprotection, and, if generated in amounts surpassing the cell detoxification mechanisms, may elicit cytotoxicity. Electrophilic prostaglandins with cyclopentenone structure (cyPG) have been shown to exert protective effects in numerous models of inflammation and tissue injury, as well as antitumoral effects. Protein covalent modification is a key mechanism of action of these species. We have used tagged electrophilic PG, mainly cyPG, as tools to characterize electrophilic lipid-protein interactomes. cyPG with different structure elicit the modification of subsets of proteins comprising both common and selective targets. Among the targets identified are proteins involved in inflammatory responses, the modification of which contributes to the anti-inflammatory effects of cyPG, signaling proteins, and proteins involved in chemoprevention, chemoresistance or tumorigenesis. Thus, some cyPG targets, including glutathione transferase and aldo-keto reductases, have broad implications both in redox signaling and as drug targets. We have observed that cyPG effects are highly dependent on cell type, context, and levels of both cyPG and endogenous antioxidants, in particular GSH. Moreover, the ability of cyPG to display biphasic or dual actions and the nature of the proteins modified depend on these factors. A detailed knowledge of cyPG targets and of the factors that modulate protein modification will contribute to the understanding of their mechanisms of action and define their potential as leads for drug discovery, but may also shed light on redox signaling mechanisms.

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.
