Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from 3 of 4 patients with CML in BC showed a 2-fold to 12-fold down-regulation of SOCS-2 levels on in vitro exposure to STI571; moreover, a 2-fold to 11-fold decrease in SOCS-2 was observed in MNCs from 7 of 8 patients with CML in BC who responded to treatment with STI571.

Moreover, our analysis revealed that SOCS2 levels are significantly increased in patients with acute and chronic myeloid leukemia, two hematological malignancies where disease progression is closely linked to IL-1β.
