Updated project metadata. During fundamental proteotranscriptomic analysis of human valve interstitial cells (VICs) osteogenic differentiation, we revealed ZBTB16 (PLZF) as one of the most upregulated proteins. Thus, to investigate its physiological role in VICs osteogenic differentiation we performed its overexpression by lentiviral transduction with subsequent proteomics analysis. Despite obvious PLZF overexpression and its reinforcing effect on osteogenic differentiation, we revealed surprisingly small amount of differentially expressed proteins that assumed to be the targets of PLZF.
