The fact that F2Pal10 and Cmp 14 cannot induce -arrestin recruitment at these concentrations ([9-11], Fig 2A) , strongly suggests that the priming effect of Barbadin on FPR2-mediated ROS production is independent of the ability of the activating agonist to recruit -arrestin. Collectively, these results suggest that Barbadin primes neutrophils in their response to FPR2 agonists, and the increased NADPH-oxidase activation is regulated independently of FPR2 internalization and FPR2-induced -arrestin recruitment. Barbadin was added to WKYMVM-activated neutrophils at a time point when ROS production had returned to a background level; interestingly, these FPR2-desensitized cells could be resensitized to produce ROS also by Barbadin, similar to the effect of latrunculin A ( Fig 5A) . ./cache/cord-102808-c7ajfvt5.txt ./txt/cord-102808-c7ajfvt5.txt
