- Plate MEF cells in 10 cm petri dishes
- Once confluent, treat MEF cells with vehicle (DMSO) or deazaneplanocin A (DZnep) for 24 hours
- Scrape cells in cold PBS and collect by centrifuging 1,200 rpm for 10 minutes at 4 °C
- Resuspend cells in 200 ml cold PBS
- Sonicate on ice
- Centrifuge at 14,000 rpm for 15 minutes at 4 °C
- Remove the supernatant and store on ice
- Determine SAM and SAH levels using 50 ml of supernatant according to the manufacturer’s instructions (STA-671-C, Cell Biolabs).
