Nonylphenol exposure increases the risk of Hirschsprung’s disease by inducing macrophage M1 polarization by Xuefeng Yang, Chengyan Tang, Daiwei Zhu, Xingrong Xia, Qing Du, Lu Huang, Jianguo Liu, Yuanmei Liu

“…Herein, we identified the content of NP and expression of lncRNA LINC00294/Inhibin Subunit Beta E (INHBE) axis in clinical samples and evaluated the crucial role of lncRNA LINC00294/INHBE axis in the neurogenic potential of neurons and the neurotoxicity effects of NP in the SH-SY5Y cells and female specific pathogen-free (SPF) rat model. Our results showed that NP concentration and LINC00294 were significantly associated with HSCR occurrence and macrophage polarization in human HSCR specimens. …”
