Gleevec has been shown to induce clinical, hematological and molecular remissions for CML patients [ 4 ] . It cross-reacts with two other important growth factor receptors containing tyrosine kinase domains, c-kit and PDGF receptors, that play important roles in growth and proliferation of a variety of cell types [ 5 ] . C-kit (also known as CD117) is frequently mutated in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and the mutated c-kit shows higher tyrosine kinase activity.

Western blotting analyses of PDGF receptors were performed using a previously described method [ 16 ] . Briefly, the tumor cells were treated with Gleevec at the various concentrations for 6 hours.
The elevated expression of PDGF in our model is also significant since the expression of these growth factors by endothelial cells can be induced by direct immune cell - endothelial cell interaction, promoting smooth muscle cell migration and proliferation in atherosclerosis [ 39 ] .
