Local TH action in acute and chronic ischaemic heart disease

Prof. Dr. med. PhD Dagmar Führer,  Prof. Dr. med. Lars C. Möller  &  Prof. Dr. Kristina Lorenz

This project pursues the hypothesis that targeted TH action can be applied to reduce injury in acute myocardial infarction (MI) and to ameliorate post-MI remodelling. Using cell-specific mouse models, we will comprehensively characterise local control of TH action in acute and chronic ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and in these conditions will dissect the role of TR isoform, and the mode of TR action in endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, we will define the optimal timing for TH intervention and will explore selective targeting. Our long-term goal is to exploit local TH action for the benefit of patients with IHD.
