For example, antitumour drugs such as methylation inhibitors 5-azacytidine and 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine can specifically inhibit the methylation of certain genes that suppress tumour growth and metastasis and regulate cell cycle, playing a corresponding role in curbing tumour proliferation with fewer side effects; these drugs are likely to be significant in cancer treatment in the future ( 170 , 178 - 181 ).
