resulting in cell cycle arrest after 24 h in G1/0 phase. This is characteristic
of the NHEJ reparation pathway. The cell cycle arrest in G1/0
phase gives time for cells to repair damage to DNA before
replication occurs to avoid genetic lesions in progeny cells.
Based on our results, it is worth noting that cell cycle arrest
was not complete and was released after 72 h, once DSBs were
repaired, and the cells with unrepairable damage underwent
apoptosis.
