High methylation of DNA is closely related to occurrence of tumor.Reversing aberrant methylation of DNA of tumor cells
restoring expression of tumor suppressor gene or DNA repair gene become new hot spots in development and research of anti-tumor drugs.Compared to single target point and resistance of chemical drugs
traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has advantages of comprehensive and multiple targets for treatment.However
there are few reports on effect of TCM on DNA demethylation.In this paper
anti-tumor TCM and composition in TCM on DNA demethylation are combed.All these TCM were classified into four types based on their efficacy
including heat-clearing
activating blood circulation to remove stasis
anti-rheumatism and others.Demethylation effects of these Chinese herbs on different target genes in different tumors were described
