Many antineoplastic agents induce myelosuppression and leukopenia as secondary effects in patients. The development of anticancer agents that simultaneously provoke antitumor immune response represents an important therapeutic advance. The administration of 6-pentadecyl salicylic acid (6SA) contributes to the antitumor immunity using 4T1 breast cancer cells in Balb/c female mice, with Taxol as a positive control and in cotreatment with 6SA (6SA + Taxol; CoT). Our results show that 6SA reduces tumor volume and size by inducing caspase-8-mediated apoptosis without reducing tumor infiltrated lymphocytes. Also, 6SA reduced lung metastasis and increased the proportion of immune cells in blood, lymph nodes and bone marrow; more evidently, in the proportion of tumor-infiltrated natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Taxol reduces helper and cytotoxic lymphocytes causing systemic immunosuppression and myelosuppression in bone marrow, whereas 6SA does not decrease any immune cell subpopulations in circulating blood and lymph nodes. More importantly, the CoT decreased the Taxol-induced cytotoxicity in circulating T cells and bone marrow. Treatment with 6SA increases the secretion of IL-2, IL-12, GM-CSF, TNF-α and IFN-γ and significantly reduces IL-10 and IL-17 secretion, suggesting that the reduction of regulatory T cells and tumor-associated macrophages contribute to the host control of tumor development. Finally, 6SA has an effective antineoplastic activity against breast cancer cells in an immunocompetent animal, reduces the myelosuppression and leukopenia that Taxol produces, improves the antitumoral immunological microenvironment and increases the overall survival of the animals improving the quality of life of patients with cancer.Keywords: Anacardic acid; Antitumoral; Immunomodulation; Leukopenia; Myelosuppression.
