ZNF503 promotes RPE differentiation, and inhibits cell proliferation and migration. (a and b) ZNF503 expression was elevated in ARPE19 cells transfected with Ac-ZNF503-AS1 when compared to cells transfected with empty vector (a), and was reduced in cells transfected with ZNF503-AS1 siRNA when compared with cells transfected with scramble siRNA (b). (c) ZNF503 expression was remarkably decreased in ARPE19 cells transfected with ZNF503 siRNA. (d) In ARPE19 cells transfected with ZNF503 siRNA, mRNA expressions of RPE relevant markers, including RPE65, RLBP1, LRAT, KRT18, and CTNNB1, were upregulated. (e and f) Immunoblotting indicated that protein expressions of Mertk, cytokeratin-18, and β-catenin were increased in ARPE19 cells transfected with ZNF503 siRNA compared to cells transfected with scramble siRNA. (g and h) Immunofluorescent staining suggested that ZO-1 (g) and β-catenin (h) expressions were elevated in ARPE19 cells transfected with ZNF503 siRNA when compared to cells transfected with scramble siRNA. No obvious mislocalization of proteins was identified in all transfected groups
