Balanced TGF/BMP-signalling is essential for tissue formation and homeostasis. While gain in TGF signaling is often found in diseases, the underlying cellular mechanisms remain poorly defined. Here we show, that the receptor BMPR2 serves as a central gatekeeper of this balance, highlighted by its deregulation in diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We show that BMPR2-deficient cells express genes indicative for altered biophysical properties including up-regulation of ECM proteins and integrins.
