In order to maintain the cells in a normal state, it is desirable that the expression level of genes involved in tumorigenesis be suppressed without lowering the expression level of genes related to DNA repair. Since TAK1 suppression satisfies these conditions, It was suggested that siRNA can be used for the prevention and treatment of cell proliferative diseases such as cancer.
