Abstract Objective: To investigate whether ferulic acid could regulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase specific inhibitor-1 (TIMP-1) in myocardium of rats with chronic heart failure by inhibiting the activation of STAT3 protein. Methods: Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, sham operation group, model group, 25 mg/kg ferulic acid group, 50 mg/kg ferulic acid group and 100 mg/kg ferulic acid group. A rat model of chronic heart failure was made by coarctation of aorta. After 8 weeks of surgery, echocardiographic assessment was performed to detect the changes of cardiac function; collagen changes with Masson staining were observated; the expression of p-STAT3 protein level was detected by Western blot in myocardial tissue; the left ventricular myocardial expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. Results: Compared with sham operation group in the model group, left ventricular end systolic diameter and left ventricular end diastolic diameter increased (P<0.05), ejection fraction decreased (P<0.05), myocardial collagen deposition obviously, the expression of p-STAT3 protein increased (P<0.05), expression of MMP-1 mRNA and protein increased (P<0.05), TIMP-1 mRNA and protein decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, in the ferulic acid groups, left ventricular end systolic diameter and left ventricular end diastolic diameter reduced (P<0.05), ejection fraction increased (P<0.05), collagen deposition in the myocardial tissue decreased (P<0.05), p-STAT3 protein expression decreased (P<0.05), MMP-1 mRNA and protein expression decreased (P<0.05), TIMP-1 mRNA and protein increased (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ferulic acid may delay the progression of chronic heart failure by regulating the expression of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 in cardiac tissue of rats with chronic heart failure by decreasing the activation of STAT3 protein.
