Empty vector-transposed H1299 human cancer cell line and H1299 cells inducibly expressing type 2 MUTYH protein of WT, p.Arg81Trp, or p.Asp208Asn were used.
bThe shuttle plasmid pMY189, containing 8-hydroxyguanine (8OHG) at nucleotide position 159 of supF, or a wild-type (WT) pMY189 plasmid was used.
cThe value for the difference in the proportion between cells transfected with an 8OHG-containing pMY189 plasmid was <0.0001 (Fisher exact test).
dThe value for the difference in the proportion between cells transfected with an 8OHG-containing pMY189 plasmid was <0.001 (Fisher exact test).
