Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. A schematic diagram depicting dual functions of HMGN2 on the transcellular and paracellular route of UPEC invasion in Urothelium. LPS and other bacterial toxins activate HMGN2 expression, which in turn elevates expression of general innate immune response genes, such as IL-8, IL-10, and AMPs gene. Meanwhile increased HMGN2 represses expression of TJs proteins such as ZO-1, Occludin, E-Cadherin and Claudin-1 to disrupt paracellular TJs’ ultrastructure and permeability. Thus, invading bacteria may pass through paracellular routes by up-regulating host HMGN2 expression in urothelium.
