Treatment for tumors depends on host immune system. The antitumor and immunoregulatory activities ofUlva lactucapolysaccharide (ULP) were evaluated in H22 tumor‐bearing mice and cyclophosphamide‐induced immunosuppressed mice, respectively. The structural properties of ULP were identified through multi‐angle laser light scattering, high‐performance liquid chromatography, Fourier‐transformed infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance. It was composed of α‐D‐Manp‐(1→, →2,4)‐β‐L‐Rhap‐(1→, β‐D‐GlcpA‐(1→, β‐GalpA‐(1→, →2,4)‐α‐D‐Glcp‐(1→, and →6)‐β‐D‐Galp‐(1→ with the molecular weight of 1.46 × 105Da. Its antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antitumor effects were determined. Liver and tumor tissues were collected for histopathological, immunohistochemical, and western blotting analysis. ULP showed the great tumor growth inhibition of 74.41% compared with cyclophosphamide, which has side effects on immune system. ULP enhanced the expression ofp53to inhibit tumorigenesis, promoted the activation ofIKKα, and inhibited the activation ofp65within theNF‐κBpathway. ULP inhibited the tumor growth through downregulating the expressions ofPI3K/AktandmTOR, and promotingBAX/Bcl‐2ratio. The inhibition ofTRAF2/TNF‐αandCD31/VEGFachieved a direct killing effect on tumor cells and inhibited tumor proliferation by inhibiting angiogenesis, respectively. Moreover, ULP increased the levels of immunoglobulin M and total superoxide dismutase, decreased the level of methane dicarboxylic aldehyde, and inhibited the activation ofPI3K/AKT/mTOR/p70S6kpathways. The results showed that ULP exhibited pronounced antitumor activity and immunoregulatory effect.
