Inhibit human renal carcinoma cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo by promoting the expressions of Nrf2 and Nrf2 target genes such as HO-1, the modifier subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase, solute carrier family 7 member 11, glucose-regulated protein 78, protein RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase, and cytochrome C,etc. This evidence concerns the gene HMOX1 and renal carcinoma.
