Trichomonas vaginalis: observation of coexistence of multiple viruses in the same isolate

Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellated, parasitic protozoan that inhabits the urogenital tract of humans. Some isolates of T. vaginalis are infected with a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) virus, which was described in the literature as homogeneous icosahedral viral particles with an isometric symmetry and 33 nm in diameter. This study examined in detail the viral particles in T. vaginalis isolate 347 and describes a heterogeneous population of viral particles. The different dsRNA viruses were only observed after a change in the technique. The sample was prepared by the negative staining carbon-film method directly onto freshly cleft mica. The detected viruses ranged in size from 33 to 200 nm. Among the shapes observed were filamentous, cylindrical, and spherical particles. These results show that T. vaginalis may be a reservoir for several different dsRNA viruses simultaneously.     

Phagocytosis by Trichomonas vaginalis: new insights

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The parasitic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis is the causative agent of trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease. The phagocytic activity of this parasite has not been completely elucidated. In order to better understand the mechanisms of trichomonal phagocytosis, we have studied the in vitro capacity of T. vaginalis to phagocytose and degrade Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: To analyse the phagocytic ability and capacity, two isolates of T. vaginalis presenting different virulence grades were used. Complementary techniques, such as fluorescence microscopy, computer-based fluorescence analysis, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and the use of drugs that interfere with the actin microfilaments, were used in order to follow the behaviour of the actin cytoskeleton during phagocytosis of yeast cells by T. vaginalis. It was concluded that: (1) T. vaginalis changes its shape rapidly and engulfs the yeast cells, which are almost as large as the parasite; (2) long-term and fresh cultures are able to phagocytose, although the low-virulence strain JT demonstrated a lower activity when compared with the highly virulent T016 isolate; (3) the T016 strain exhibited an amoeboid morphology during the internalization of yeast cells in contrast with the JT strain; (4) attachment of yeast cells to the parasite occurs via the whole cell surface, including both anterior and recurrent flagella; (5) two forms of phagocytosis were observed: a 'sinking' process without any apparent participation of plasma membrane extensions and the classical phagocytosis where pseudopodia are extended toward the target cell; (6) the internalized S. cerevisiae are digested in lysosomes; (7) competitor sugars D-mannose or L-fucose inhibit the phagocytosis, and inhibition was 1.67 times higher in long-term cultured JT than that of the parasites from fresh isolate T016; (8) a thick layer of actin microfilaments was present underlying the plasma membrane, and especially in the pseudopodia and around the phagocytosed particles; (9) a dramatic change in the distribution pattern of fibrillar actin occurred during phagocytosis; (10) cytochalasin D depressed the phagocytosis; (11) a non-specific recognition and phagocytosis of yeast cells by T. vaginalis is mediated by a mannose receptor present on the parasite surface; (12) the phagocytic process may occur simultaneously during mitosis of the parasite.

Excretory-Secretory Products of Trichomonas vaginalis Cause Apoptosis in Mouse Sperm in Vitro

Excretory-secretory products (ESP) of T. vaginalis have been shown to inhibit sperm motility, viability, and functional integrity, leading to a decreased fertilization rate in vitro. This study investigated whether T. vaginalis induce apoptosis and ultrastructural changes of sperm using flow cytometry and electron microscopy. Incubation of sperm with T. vaginalis ESP increased phosphatidylserine externalization and DNA fragmentation, and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential. Transmission electron microscopy of sperm incubated with ESP revealed abnormal features such as distorted heads, broken necks, and acrosomes exocytosis. This is the first report that demonstrates a direct impact of T. vaginalis ESP on sperm apoptosis and architecture in vitro.     

Proliferation of Mouse Prostate Cancer Cells Inflamed by Trichomonas vaginalis

Our objective was to investigate whether inflammatory microenvironment induced by Trichomonas vaginalis infection can stimulate proliferation of prostate cancer (PCa) cells in vitro and in vivo mouse experiments. The production of CXCL1 and CCL2 increased when cells of the mouse PCa cells (TRAMP-C2 cell line) were infected with live T. vaginalis. T. vaginalis-conditioned medium (TCM) prepared from co-culture of PCa cells and T. vaginalis increased PCa cells migration, proliferation and invasion. The cytokine receptors (CXCR2, CCR2, gp130) were expressed higher on the PCa cells treated with TCM. Pretreatment of PCa cells with antibodies to these cytokine receptors significantly reduced the proliferation, mobility and invasiveness of PCa cells, indicating that TCM has its effect through cytokine-cytokine receptor signaling. In C57BL/6 mice, the prostates injected with T. vaginalis mixed PCa cells were larger than those injected with PCa cells alone after 4 weeks. Expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers and cyclin D1 in the prostate tissue injected with T. vaginalis mixed PCa cells increased than those of PCa cells alone. Collectively, it was suggested that inflammatory reactions by T. vaginalis-stimulated PCa cells increase the proliferation and invasion of PCa cells through cytokine-cytokine receptor signaling pathways.
