Cervical cancer is a serious health hazard for women’s reproductive system cancer; the method of treatment for cervical cancer is still in surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy as the basic means, but with many complications. The effects of natural medicines for cervical cancer are increasingly becoming the focus of people’s attentions. By studying the polysaccharide of cervical cancer in mice, we found that shark cartilage polysaccharide can increase the serum levels of T-SOD and GSH and decrease MDA level significantly in the tumor mice. The distribution of the drug in the tissue was determined by HPLC method; the drug can be drawn in the liver and kidney the highest, followed by the spleen, lung, and brain levels being the lowest. Polysaccharide can inhibit tumor growth in the mice which may be connected with the enhanced immunity and the antioxidant capacity.

1. A multienzyme system capable of degrading keratosulphates to yield galactose, N-acetylglucosamine and sulphate was found in the liver extract of a marine gastropod, Charonia lampas. 2. During the degradation, neither oligosaccharides nor sulphated sugars were produced. 3. It is suggested that the degradation could be attributed to the concerted action of β-galactosidase, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase and a sulphatase (sulphohydrolase), tentatively designated keratosulphatase. 4. Two forms of keratosulphatase (I and II) were separated by DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography. Both forms could release all the sulphate from keratosulphates and neither appeared to be identical with glycosulphatase or chondrosulphatase, both of which are also present in Charonia lampas. 5. β-Galactosidase and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase could degrade keratopolysulphate to a greater extent in the presence of keratosulphatase than in its absence. 6. It is suggested that keratosulphate was first desulphated by the action of keratosulphatase, and the desulphated polymer was then degraded to galactose and N-acetylglucosamine by the action of β-galactosidase and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase. 7. β-Galactosidase alone released a small amount of galactose from shark cartilage keratopolysulphate, but β-N-acetylglucosaminidase alone did not release N-acetylglucosamine. This indicates that unsulphated galactose residues occupy all the non-reducing terminal positions in keratopolysulphate chains.
