In vivo, cells are simultaneously exposed to multiple stimuli whose effects are difficult to distinguish. Therefore, they are often investigated in experimental cell culture conditions where stimuli are applied separately. However, it cannot be presumed that their individual effects simply add up. As a proof-of-principle to address the relevance of transcriptional signaling synergy, we investigated the interplay of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) with the Angiotensin-II (AT1R) or the Thromboxane-A2 (TP) receptors in murine primary aortic vascular smooth muscle cells. Transcriptome analysis revealed that EGFR-AT1R or EGFR-TP simultaneous activations led to different patterns of regulated genes compared to individual receptor activations (qualitative synergy). Combined EGFR-TP activation also caused a variation of amplitude regulation for a defined set of genes (quantitative synergy), including vascular injury-relevant ones ( and ). Moreover, Gene Ontology enrichment suggested that EGFR and TP-induced gene expression changes altered processes critical for vascular integrity, such as cell cycle and senescence. These bioinformatics predictions regarding the functional relevance of signaling synergy were experimentally confirmed. Therefore, by showing that the activation of more than one receptor can trigger a synergistic regulation of gene expression, our results epitomize the necessity to perform comprehensive network investigations, as the study of individual receptors may not be sufficient to understand their physiological or pathological impact.
