ZNF503-AS1 promotes RPE differentiation. (a and b) Relative miRNA expression of ZNF503-AS1 in hiPSC-RPE at 30 d.p.d. transfected with Ac-ZNF503-AS1 plasmid compared to empty vector (a), and in cells transfected with ZNF503-AS1 siRNA compared to scramble siRNA (b). (c) Relative mRNA expressions of RPE dedifferentiation-related markers, including MITF, SOX2, POU5F1, and NANOG, in hiPSC-RPE at 30 d.p.d. transfected with ZNF503-AS1 siRNA compared to scramble siRNA. (dg) Relative mRNA expressions of RPE65, RLBP1, LRAT, MERTK, BEST1, KRT18, TJP1, and CTNNB1 in hiPSC-RPE at 30 d.p.d. (d) and ARPE19 cells (e) transfected with Ac-ZNF503-AS1 compared with empty vector, and in hiPSC-RPE at 30 d.p.d. (f) and ARPE19 cells (g) transfected with ZNF503-AS1 siRNA compared to scramble siRNA. (hj) Relative protein expressions of Mertk, cytokeratin-18, ZO-1, and β-catenin in ARPE19 cells transfected with Ac-ZNF503-AS1 compared with empty vector (h and i), and in cells transfected with ZNF503-AS1 siRNA compared to scramble siRNA (h and j)
