However, the precise regulatory mechanism of this phenomenon has not been elucidated. In this study, I used a single-celled eukaryote Trichomonas vaginalis to investigate the influence of temperature on the lifespan of this protozoan. The relative short lifespan of T. vaginalis compared with the multi-cellular organisms provided a platform to unravel the mechanism of TR at cellular level. This study showed that T. vaginalis grown at 22℃, 27℃, and 32℃ have a longer life span than cells grown at 37℃. In addition, cells cultivated at 27℃ not only extended their lifespan, but also increased their doubling time. Since TR cells can regain their mitotic ability when transfer to 37℃, implying that the life span extension at 27℃is totally temperature dependent. Based on the recovery rate index, the 36th hour post-TR was an important time point for T. vaginalis to recover from TR. Also, TR cells were more resistant to oxidative stress than cells grown at 37℃. Furthermore, the expression of antioxidative genes, such as superoxide dismutase (sod-1, sod-2), thioredoxin peroxidase (tpx-1, tpx-2, tpx-3), thioredoxin reductase (trxr), and thiol peroxidase (thiolpx), were increased at 24 hours or 36 hours at 27℃. Interestingly, the longevity marker genes, sir2 and lag, were differentially expressed under TR. In conclusion, T vaginalis can serve as a model organism to study TR-induced longevity, and this model will exploit a new research field on aging and longevity in protist.
