There are no effective therapeutic targets or strategies that simultaneously inhibit tumour growth and promote cardiac function recovery. Here, we analyzed targets for cancer treatments and cardiac repair, with demethylation emerging as a common factor in these candidate lists. As DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) majorly responds to methylation, a natural compound library is screened, identifying dioscin as a novel agent targeted at DNMT1, widely used for heart diseases. Dioscin was found to reduce DNMT activities and inhibits growth in breast cancer cells. Combined with analyses of RNA-seq and MeDIP-seq, the promoters of antioxidant genes were demethylated after dioscin, recruiting NRF2 and elevating their expression. In Nrf2 knockout mice, the cardiac protection role of dioscin was blocked by Nrf2-loss. Furthermore, in tumour-bearing mice with hypertrophy, dioscin was observed to inhibit tumour growth and alleviate cardiac injury simultaneously. This study is the first to identify dioscin as a novel demethylation agent with dual functions of anti-cancer and cardio-protection. Dioscin abolishes methylation in cancer cells and cardiomyocytes. Dioscin demethylates the modified promoters of antioxidant genes transcriptionally regulatedD by NRF2 in hypertrophy. Dioscin provides a novel strategy for the joint treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases for the first time.
