The present invention relates to a monoclonal mouse antibody produced by the hybridoma cell deposited under ICLC accession number ICLC PD n° 16001. Furthermore, the invention relates to an antibody comprising a heavy chain variable region comprising complementarity determining regions CDRH1, CDRH2 and CDRH3, and a light chain variable region comprising complementarity determining regions CDRL1, CDRL2 and CDRL3, wherein CDRH1, CDRH2, CDRH3, CDRL1, CDRL2, and CDRL3 comprise the amino acid sequences GFTFSSFGMH (SEQ ID NO: 1), YISSGSGNFYYVDTVKG (SEQ ID NO: 43), STYYHGSRGAMDY (SEQ ID NO: 3), SASSSVSSMYWY (SEQ ID NO: 4), DTSKMAS (SEQ ID NO: 5), and QQWSSYPPIT (SEQ ID NO: 6), respectively. In addition, the invention relates to antibodies recognizing the same epitope.

Inhibitors of miRNAs 221 and 222, and their use as medicaments in the treatment of multiple myeloma. The inhibitors inhibit miRNAs 221 and 222 of the type of LNA-miRNAs and have the formula +C*A*G*+A*+C*A*+A*T*+G*T*+A*+G*C, and formula C*+A*+G*+A*T*+G*T*+A*+G*C wherein letters with symbol '+' indicate the positions of LNA and symbol '*' indicates phosphorothioate bonds.

The present invention describe nanocomplexes also called auto-assembling nanoparticles comprising biphosphonates, lipid nanovectors and inorganic nanovectors. In particular the invention describes zoledronic acid complexed with calcium phosphate base nanoparticles; said particles in their turn mixed with lipidic particles e.g. liposomes. Said nanocomplexes are useful, and showed to be efficient in vivo, as pharmaceutical formulations of biphosphonates for the treatment or prevention of tumor growth and/or metastasis. Tumors can be solids and/or haematological such as prostate, lung, head/neck, colon, liver, breast, pancreas, kidneys, bladder, male and female urogenital tract, bones, multiple myeloma, primitive and secondary tumors of the central nervous system and lymphomas.
