Asthma is a heterogeneous inflammatory airway disorder which involves eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic phenotypes. Unlike in normal lungs, eosinophils are often present in atopic asthmatic airways although a subpopulation of asthmatic subjects predominantly develops neutrophilic inflammation. Recently, it has been demonstrated that eosinophils and neutrophils generate bactericidal extracellular traps consisting of DNA and cytotoxic granule proteins. To explore if living eosinophils and neutrophils infiltrating human atopic asthmatic airways actively form extracellular DNA traps in vivo. Quantitative analysis of eosinophils-releasing DNA was performed in endobronchial biopsies from 20 mild human atopic asthmatics at baseline and after local allergen challenge, and 10 normal subjects. DNA was stained with propidium iodine and major basic protein (MBP) with specific antibody. Differential cell counts and cytokines/chemokines were assessed in bronchoalveolar fluids. Asthmatic airways were infiltrated with a significantly higher number of eosinophils than normal airways (39.3±4.6 vs. 0.4±0.9, p<0.0001). All asthmatics but only one control subject expressed eosinophils releasing DNA that colocalized with MBP (33.65±20.33 vs. 0.3±0.9 per hpf, p<0.0001). Four asthmatics mostly expressed neutrophilic inflammation and neutrophil DNA traps. Allergen challenge had no significant quantitative effect on eosinophil or neutrophil DNA traps. Airway eosinophils or DNA traps did not correlate with either BAL levels of IL-5, IFN-γ, or eotaxin, or the provoking doses of methacholine or allergen in asthmatics. Extracellular DNA traps are generated by eosinophils and neutrophils in human atopic asthmatic airways in vivo. The mechanism and role of this new finding will necessitate further investigation. Eosinophil extracellular traps (EETs) (1) are frequently seen in atopic asthma, (2) consist of DNA and granule proteins, and (3) might be a new useful biomarker reflecting eosinophil activation.
