## Abstract P450 aromatase catalyzes the conversion of androgens to estrogens and plays a key role in the cell growth of hormoneβdependent breast cancer in postmenopausal women. On the other hand, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which can degrade almost all components of the extracellular matrix,
bcl-2 expression is often associated with poor prognosis in several types of tumors; however, the role of this molecule in breast cancer is still controversial. We found earlier that over-expression of bcl-2 in a human breast-cancer cell line (MCF7 ADR ) enhances its tumorigenicity and metastatic po
