The nuclei were larger in olaparib-resistant cells than in parental cells. The degree of DNA condensation was examined by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining and confocal laser microscopy. Representative images are presented (80× original magnification). Scale bars represent 50 μm. In olaparib-resistant cells, increased nucleus indicates a relaxation of DNA condensation (A). The proportion of cells with a DNA content of more than 4n was calculated by flow cytometry with PI staining. The increased nuclear size of olaparib-resistant cells was not related to aneuploidy (B).
