Activated human eosinophils, as well as neutrophils, can release extracellular chromatin to form DNA traps through cytolytic extracellular trap cell death (ETosis). Although formations of neutrophil DNA traps are recognized in various inflammatory conditions, neither the presence of ETosis-derived eosinophil DNA traps in human allergic diseases nor the characteristics of these DNA traps have been studied. We investigated the presence of ETosis-derived DNA traps in eosinophil-rich sinus and ear secretions and the functional attributes of ETosis DNA traps. Eosinophil-rich secretions obtained from patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) and eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) were studied microscopically. In vitro studies of ETosis and DNA trap formation used blood-derived eosinophils and neutrophils, and binding capacities of DNA traps used labeled bacteria and fluorescent microbeads. Stabilities of DNA traps were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. Abundant nuclear histone H1-bearing DNA traps had formed in vivo in the eosinophilic secretions and contributed to their increased viscosity. In vitro, following brief shear flow, eosinophil ETosis-elicited DNA traps assembled to form stable aggregates. Eosinophil DNA traps entrapped bacteria and fungi and by hydrophobic interactions microbeads. In comparison with neutrophil-derived DNA traps, eosinophil DNA traps ultrastructurally exhibited thicker fibers with globular structures and were less susceptible to leukocyte-derived proteolytic degradation, likely due to the lesser protease activities of eosinophils. In human allergic diseases, the local cytolysis of eosinophils not only releases free eosinophil granules but also generates nuclear-derived DNA traps that are major extracellular structural components within eosinophil-rich secretions.
