Plain-language verified summary

Question

The protocol for this assay was adapted from a previous study [71].

Methods

Total RNA was extracted from cells using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Cat# 15596018) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Scale or participants

a Representative images of filopodia formation upon 20 μM of humanin treatment for 24 h (left) and quantification for numbers of filopodia (right) in X02, 83, and 1123 cells.

Key findings

The role of mitochondria peptides in the spreading of glioblastoma remains poorly understood.

Limitations and uncertainty

One of our intriguing observations is that, humanin appears to exhibit considerable stability, as evidenced by its detection in the brain by IHC staining several weeks after the initial injection.
