This study shows that the curcuminoid EF24 in combination with TRAIL increases peroxidase activity in the renal adenocarcinoma cell line ACHN, reducing the level of intracellular H2O2 and MMP-2/MMP-9 activity, a mechanism that is also observed after treatment with curcumin and TRAIL. Here, TNFSF10 is linked to papillary renal cell carcinoma.
