Transforming growth factor-
(TGF-
)-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a serine/threonine kinase, is reported to function in the signaling pathways of TGF-
, interleukin 1, and ceramide.
However, the physiological role of TAK1 in vivo is largely unknown. To assess the function of TAK1 in vivo, dominant-negative TAK1 (dnTAK1) was expressed in the rat liver by adenoviral gene transfer. dnTAK1 expression abrogated c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase and c-Jun
but not nuclear factor (NF)-
B or SMAD activation after partial
hepatectomy (PH). Expression of dnTAK1 or TAM-67, a dominant-negative
c-Jun, induced G0 exit in quiescent liver and accelerated
cell cycle progression after PH. Finally, dnTAK1 and TAM-67 induced
c-myc expression in the liver before and after PH,
suggesting that G0 exit induced by dnTAK1 and TAM-67 is
mediated by c-myc induction.
