Popis: 8-Hydroxyguanine (8OHG), a major oxidative DNA lesion, is known to accumulate in prostate cancer; however, the status of one of its repair enzymes, MUTYH, in prostate cancer remains to be elucidated. In this study, we showed that the expression levels of MUTYH mRNA and protein were significantly lower in prostate cancer than in non-cancerous prostatic tissue by examining two independent, publicly available databases and by performing an immunohistochemical analysis of prostate cancer specimens obtained at our hospital, respectively. About two-thirds of the prostate cancers exhibited a reduced MUTYH expression. When the effect of reduced MUTYH expression in prostate adenocarcinoma on the somatic mutation load was examined using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, the numbers of total somatic mutations and somatic G:C to T:A mutations were significantly higher in the reduced MUTYH expression group than in the other group (P
