Abstract: Radiation technology has been providing a useful tool to modify polymers involving the  
radiation crosslinking of hydrogels. In the present work, two kinds of hydrogels composed gelatin and  
carboxymethyl chitosan (gelatin/CM-chitosan), and carboxymethyl chitin (gelatin/CM-chitin) were  
prepared by the radiation crosslinking. The resulting hydrogels were freeze-dried, sterilized under  
gamma-ray at a sterilization dose of 25 kGy, and characterized to be utilized as the scaffolds for  
culturing adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs). The physicochemical properties, biodegradability,  
and cytotoxicity of these scaffolds were also investigated. The results indicated that both CM-chitosan  
and CM-chitin much improved the swelling capacity, porosity, and pore size of the gelatin-derived  
scaffolds. The swelling degree of gelatin/CM-chitosan and gelatin/CM-chitin scaffolds was about 7-9  
g/g after 6 hrs immerging in PBS, and their porosity was about 70-73% with pore size ranging from  
100 to 300 mm. The results also revealed that the compressive modulus of gelatin/CM-chitosan and  
gelatin/CM-chitin was 45.6 and 66.4 kPa, respectively, which were suitable for soft tissue engineering.  
Both scaffolds were enzymatically biodegradable by collagenase and non-cytotoxic for hADSCs with  
an RGR of ~97%. Thus, the resultant scaffolds can be suitably utilized for culturing hADSC in  
practice to regenerate soft tissues.

tissue engineering ought to meet several design

the cultured source cells and the targeting

I. INTRODUCTION  
Tissue engineering is a quickly enlarging  
interdisciplinary field that attempts to provide  
solutions for the regeneration of defected or  
damaged tissues. Designing of biologically  
active scaffolds with optimal characteristics is  
one of the most important factors for  
successful tissue engineering [1]. Recently,  
hydrogel has been acquired substantial  
attraction as an immense potential material for  
engineered tissue scaffolds due to their unique  
compositional and structural similarities to the  
natural extracellular matrix (ECM), which is an  
indispensable component to ensure the survival,  
communication,  
proliferation,  
and  
differentiation of the cells in tissues [2-4]. In

(hADSCs), one exciting kind of the adult  
gelatin on the features of hybrid scaffolds are  
still lacking. This work characterizes the  
scaffolds derived from gelatin/CM-chitosan  
and gelatin/CM-chitin hydrogels obtained by  
radiation-crosslinking in combination with  
freeze-drying and radiation sterilization for  
further applications.  
mesenchymal stem cell sources copiously  
found in the perivascular area of adipose  
tissues, have been examined for application in  
regeneration-tissue therapy due to their  
abundance, multipotent nature, facile isolation,  
and non-controversiality [7, 9]. In terms of  
conventional technology, the polymer-based  
mesenchymal stem cell culture scaffolds are  
hydrophilic hydrogels in the form with a 3D  
microporous structure, which were prepared by  
chemical crosslinking [3, 8, 9], ionizing  
radiation followed by freeze-drying treatment  
[2, 10-12]. Among them, the radiation-  
crosslinking approach is recognized as a  
potential way with some advantages such as no  
chemicals to initiate the reaction and the  
product sterilized at the same time [1, 13]. The  
crosslinking reaction in polymer solution  
occurred through the recombination of free  
radical macromolecules, which are produced  
by the indirect and direct effect of radiation  
interaction [10, 12]. The radiation-crosslinked  
gelatin is a promising cell culture scaffold due  
to its chemical resemblances to the ECM [11].  
Despite the advantages, poorly mechanical and  
physicochemical properties, and enzymatic  
degradation beyond controllability have  
restricted its applications and levered the  
production of gelatin-based composite  
hydrogels [11, 12]. Because of the many  
inherent useful bio-properties of CM-chitosan  
and CM-chitin, natural polysaccharide  
derivatives of modified chitosan/chitin, it has  
been considered as the leading materials to  
make hydrogels for biomedical applications.  
So far, several novel hybrid scaffolds have  
been developed from a combination of  
gelatin/CM-chitosan [2, 11, 12] as well as  
gelatin/CM-chitin [4, 5] for the adult  
mesenchymal stem cell tissue engineering.  
However, studies on the effect of CM-  
chitosan and CM-chitin in mixture with

medium was purchased from Gibco Co., USA.  
The collagenase enzyme, type I (activity 2  
U/ml) was a product of Sigma Aldrich, USA.

B. Methods  
Preparation and sterilization of  
scaffolds: The solutions with a total polymer

chitin (G/CM-chitin) with the weight ratio of  
magnification of 1000 for post sputter-coated  
samples. The pore sizes and morphological  
shapes of porous scaffolds were also  
determined using SEM images. The porosity of  
the scaffolds was measured by the liquid  
supplanted method [2, 3]. Briefly, the porosity  
is conventionally equal to the volume of  
trapped ethanol in the porous scaffolds. The  
scaffold samples were put into a measuring  
cylinder containing an exact volume of  
absolute ethanol (V1). After 24 h of soaking,  
read the mixture volume of ethanol with  
immersed scaffolds (V2). Afterward, the  
scaffold samples were taken out and the  
residual ethanol volume was determined (V3).  
The porosity (P, %) was calculated by the Eq.  
2 as follows [2]:  
8.5/1.5 were prepared by completely dissolving  
in distilled water at 50C for 2 h. The solutions  
were poured into Petri dishes (diameter 10 cm,  
thickness 1 cm) and cooled to solidify in  
pseudo-gel at room temperature. The pseudo-  
gels were irradiated at a dose of ~35 kGy to  
obtain hydrogels with crosslinked bonds [10,  
11]. The hydrogels were cut into cubic  
specimens 101010 mm3 in size and  
lyophilized (freeze-drying) to create porous  
scaffolds [5]. Afterward, the porous scaffolds  
were subjected to -irradiation with ~25 kGy  
for sterilization [1].  
Swelling in PBS and mechanical  
property of scaffolds: Swelling behavior of  
porous scaffolds in PBS (0.1 M, pH 7.4) at  
37C as a function of immersion-time was  
P (%) = (V1 − V3) × 100/(V2 − V3)

weighting method and  
Biodegradation and cytotoxicity tests:  
Enzymatic degradation of the scaffolds was  
evaluated through the weight loss after  
immerging in PBS solution containing  
colagenase. Briefly, scaffold sample of about  
40 – 60 mg (Wo) was incubated in 5 ml  
enzyme solution, which was prepared by  
diluting stock collagenase in PBS (0.1 M, pH  
7.4) to an activity concentration of 2 U/ml. The  
biodegradation of scaffolds was carried out in  
vitro at 37C for a period of 21 h. At destined  
time interludes, the remainder of the samples  
was removed to dry by freeze-drying and  
weighed (W1). The biodegradability was  
figured out using Eq. 3 [3, 11].  
Swelling degree (g/g) = Ws/Wd  
(1)  
Where Ws and Wd are respectively the  
weights of swollen scaffolds and dried  
scaffolds.  
The compressive modulus, a parameter  
representing the mechanical property of  
scaffolds, was measured using a texture tester  
(INSTRON 5582, USA) equipped with a 1000  
N load cell. To determine the compress  
modulus, scaffolds were swollen in PBS for 24  
h and cut into cylinders (diameter 10 mm,  
height 10 mm) and applied a constant stain rate  
of 60 mm/min [5, 11].  
Biodegradability (%) = (Wo − W1) ×100/Wo  
(3)  
Porosity and pore size determination:  
The porous scaffolds in the dry state were cut  
into cubic pieces with the sizes of 101010  
mm3 for measuring porosity. Microscopic  
structural morphology of the scaffold was  
observed by the scanning electron microscopy  
(S-4800, HITACHI, Japan) with an  
Cytotoxicity of the scaffolds was  
appraised by an indirect contact method  
through extracts and MTT assay according to  
ISO 10993-5:2009 [11]. The scaffold  
extraction was prepared by incubating the  
scaffolds in the DMEM/F12 medium  
containing 10% FBS and 1% specific antibody  
accelerating voltage of 10 kV and

with a ratio of 3 cm2/ml at 37C for 24 h, then  
centrifuged to obtain extraction media. The  
hADSCs with a density of 105 cells/ml were  
incubated into the 96-well culture plate at 37C,  
5% CO2 for 24 h. After that, the culture  
medium in the cell-incubated wells was  
replaced with the extraction media and then  
incubated for 24 h. The cells cultured with the  
DMEM/F12 medium set out as the negative  
control group and latex rubber extraction that  
was a cytotoxic compound was as a positive  
control group [9]. The relative growth rate  
(RGR, %) of the cells in treatments was  
determined using the MTT assay at 24 h and  
calculated according to Eq. 4 [4]. The  
absorbance of MTT-dyed cell suspensions was  
measured at the wavelength of 570 nm using a  
spectroscopy equipped microplate reader.  
penetration, the infiltration of culturing cells,  
and the excretion of secretions [3]. Fig. 1  
describes the swelling of the porous scaffolds  
in the PBS solution. The swelling degree of  
the gelatin scaffold was the lowest (about 4.8  
g/g) in comparison to the G/CM-chitin (about  
7.0 g/g) and the G/CM-chitosan (around 9.1  
g/g). These differences may be caused by  
inconformity in crosslinking density and the  
number of hydrophilic groups in the scaffold,  
particularly the lower the crosslinking density  
and the higher the hydrophilic groups, the  
higher the swelling degree. Yang et al. [11]  
substantiated that CM-chitosan in a mixture of  
gelatin/CM-chitosan was able to improve the  
swelling degree of irradiation-crosslinked  
gelatin hydrogels based on reducing the  
crosslinking density and increasing the  
hydrophilic groups. In addition, Zhao et al.  
[13] supported that the irradiation-crosslinked  
extent of CM-chitin was higher than that of  
CM-chitosan, which could also be the basis  
for the explanation of the difference in  
swelling of the G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-  
chitin (Fig. 1).  
RGR (%) = As ×100/Anc  
(4)  
Where As and Anc are the optical  
density of the test sample and the negative  
control, respectively. The samples with an  
RGR value higher than 70% are considered  
non-cytotoxicity or quality [4].  
In the more notable worth, the CM-  
chitosan and CM-chitin not only ameliorated  
to the swelling proportion but also improved  
the mechanical property of the resulted  
scaffolds from G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-  
chitin. The compressive modulus or stiffness  
of scaffolds plays a significant role in the  
regulation of stem cell fate as well as  
adhesion, migration, and differentiation. The  
crosslinking density of the hydrogels is the  
main element to affect scaffold stiffness [6].  
Fig. 2 shows the compressive modulus of the  
prepared scaffolds. The attained results  
indicated that the compressive modulus of the  
gelatin scaffold (about 167.5 kPa) was  
effectively diminished to 45.6 kPa and 66.4  
kPa for G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-chitin  
scaffolds, respectively. The stiffness of the  
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION  
In these experiments, the polymeric  
formulation and the radiation-crosslinking dose  
were applied based on the findings as reported  
in the previous paper [10]. And the porous  
scaffolds from gelatin, gelatin/CM-chitin and  
gelatin/CM-chitosan hydrogels prepared by  
radiation-crosslinking in combination with  
freeze-drying  
and  
gamma  
irradiation  
sterilization were characterized.  
A. Swelling in PBS and mechanical property  
of scaffolds:  
The swelling behavior and compressive  
modulus of scaffolds are the principal  
parameters. The swelling ability of scaffolds  
is closely relative to the essential nutrition

In a column, the means followed by the same letter are not different significantly (P <0.05).  
The scaffolds with high porosity and  
adequate pore size are required to provide a  
microenvironment for cell-cell and cell-  
surrounding interactions. The interactions  
influence an attachment, migration, and  
penetration of cellular in-growth as well as  
pore size in the range of 100 – 300 m  
with thin pore walls and abundance of  
interconnects. Furthermore, these scaffolds  
had a significantly higher porosity (around  
70 – 73%) than that of the gelatin one  
(about 50%). From these results, it was  
perspicuous that CM-chitin and CM-  
chitosan in blend with gelatin had a  
vascularization  
in  
them  
[8].  
The  
microstructural properties, ascertained  
from SEM images such as the pore sizes  
and porosity of the produced scaffolds,  
were audibly manifested in Table 1 and Fig.  
3. The SEM images revealed that the  
gelatin scaffold possessed a large pore size  
(300 – 450 m), thick walls, and almost no  
interconnecting channels among the pores.  
Meanwhile, both the scaffolds of the  
G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-chitin owned a  
satisfactory  
effect  
on  
the  
porous  
microstructural properties of the gelatin  
scaffold, which could also be mainly due to  
the change in a crosslinking behavior.  
More specifically, the porous properties of  
G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-chitin scaffolds  
were adequately assumed to culture the  
hADSCs  
and  
generate

To be considered and applied in tissue  
engineering as scaffold, the

a
enzyme activity. After 21 h incubation, the  
biodegradability of both the scaffolds was  
around 81 – 83% evenly. However, the  
biodegradability of the G/CM-chitosan was  
slightly faster than that of the G/CM-chitin in  
the first 15 h. The reason could be explained  
that the swelling rate and the porosity of the  
G/CM-chitosan scaffold were moderately  
higher than that of the G/CM-chitin one,  
leading to a more favorable invasion of the  
enzyme [7, 11].  
biodegradability and non-cytotoxicity are  
fundamental requirements that need to be  
satisfied. According to Yang et al [11], the  
collagenase enzyme is commonly used for  
evaluation of scaffold biodegradability in  
vitro due to it is able to degrade hydrogels  
containing proteins. Fig. 4 illustrates the  
relationship of the biodegradability of the  
scaffolds with inoculation time. The gained  
results showed that the scaffolds were to be

Cytotoxicities of G/CM-chitosan and  
From these results, it may be suggested  
that the G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-chitin  
scaffold exhibited non-cytotoxicity for the  
hADSCs. Concerning cell ingrowths, the  
RGR% values of the hADSCs after an  
incubation period of 24 h with the different  
extracts are described in Fig. 6. The RGR  
values were of 96.2% and 97.1% respectively  
for G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-chitin samples,  
appropriated 7.3-fold higher than that of the  
positive control group. These values could be  
assorted to scoring 1 (non-cytotoxicity) and  
qualified [4, 9]. The superb non-cytotoxicity or  
cytocompatibility of these scaffolds was  
assigned to the biocompatibility of the gelatin,  
CM-chitosan, and CM-chitin [11], as well as a  
suitable 3 D microenvironment provided by the  
scaffold materials for the hADSCs [3].  
CM-chitin based scaffolds were assessed  
according to ISO 10993-5:2009 by incubating  
hADSCs with the extracts of the scaffolds [7,  
9]. As a well-known, the MTT assay is a  
colorimetric test method based on the color  
intensity of a purple formazan crystal, which  
depends on the living cell's metabolic activity.  
The morphology properties and density of  
cells from the testing extracts after performing  
MTT assay are presented in Fig. 5. The  
morphology and cell density for treatments of  
the G/CM-chitosan and G/CM-chitin were  
seemingly unchanged from that of the  
negative control group, while the cells with  
shrinkage, flaking off, and almost no forming  
formazan crystals were found in the positive  
control (latex extract).
