cellular
• cells are transfected with a retroviral cre to produce Nit1-deficient cells; Nit1-null cells have round and compact shapes, loss of lobular structure, higher cell density with increased S and G2/M cell populations, and >3-fold higher clonogenicity compared to cells not treated with cre recombinase

• after treatment with mitomycin C (MMC) or UV-C light, Nit1-deficient cells show enhanced survival compared to Nit1-sufficient cells
