and a mineralized extracellular matrix attached to the hydroxylated PEEK microspheres.
In embodiments of the invention, the hydroxylated PEEK microspheres have an internal and external interconnected microporous structure. The hydroxylated PEEK microspheres are obtained by processing the PEEK microspheres in the step A).
In embodiments of the invention, a mineralized extracellular matrix is attached to the outer surface of the hydroxylated PEEK microspheres and in the internal pores of the hydroxylated PEEK microspheres. Mineralized extracellular matrix is uniformly attached to the outer surface of the hydroxylated PEEK microspheres.

The PEEK porous microspheres with the mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surface are prepared for the first time, the preparation method is simple, and the surface chemical modification and the formation of the porous morphology are simultaneously realized by utilizing one-step reaction. The generation of extracellular matrix on the surface of the microsphere and biomineralization are carried out synchronously, and the microsphere can be sterilized at high temperature and high pressure and recycled.
When large-scale cell culture is carried out, the PEEK microspheres play a supporting role, and the porous structure on the surface is favorable for anchoring and growing cells. Meanwhile, the surface of the hydroxylated PEEK microsphere improves the hydrophilic property of the PEEK material, thereby being beneficial to cell adhesion and proliferation. The extracellular matrix is an autocrine extracellular matrix, is an autocrine complex entity of cells, and mainly consists of structural proteins mainly comprising collagen, proteoglycan and various adhesion proteins. The extracellular matrix mainly based on collagen provides a temporary basis for mineralized deposition in osteogenic development, and simultaneously contains a large number of signal molecules to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of cells and the interaction among cells. Therefore, the extracellular matrix coated on the surface of the microsphere can enhance the interaction between cells during cell culture and promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of the cells. Meanwhile, from the viewpoint of bionics, the tissue engineering material should be similar to the growth and development process of natural bones. To this end, we synchronized the extracellular matrix production on the microsphere surface with biomineralization.

Comparing the two groups of data, the absorbance value of the PEEK porous microsphere group with the mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surface is obviously higher than that of the PEEK microsphere group with smooth surface on the 7 th day. Therefore, compared with the PEEK microsphere group with smooth surfaces, the PEEK porous microsphere group with the mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surfaces obviously promotes the proliferation of cells when being cultured for 7 days.

After centrifugation, 50. mu.L of the supernatant was incubated with 50. mu.L of pNPP solution at 37 ℃ for 30min in the absence of light. After incubation time 100. mu.L of stop solution was added. And absorbance measurements were performed at 450 nm. Meanwhile, the BCA protein kit measures absorbance values at 562 nm. Finally, the ratio of the two is used as the result of alkaline phosphatase quantitative analysis. The results are shown in FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a graph showing the effect of PEEK porous microspheres and smooth PEEK microspheres having their surface coated with mineralized extracellular matrix on the alkaline phosphatase activity of cells in example 5 of the present invention.

The two have significant difference, and obviously, compared with smooth PEEK microspheres, the PEEK porous microspheres with the surfaces coated with mineralized extracellular matrix obviously improve the activity of cell alkaline phosphatase.
MC3T3-E1 cells at 2X 104Density of wells and PEEK porous microspheres of example 1 surface-coated mineralized extracellular matrix were seeded in 24 wells of 48-well cell culture plates, and MC3T3-E1 cells were plated at 2X 104Density of wells and smooth PEEK microspheres of example 1 were planted in another 24 wells of a 48-well cell culture plate, and after culturing at 37 ℃ for 14d, respectively, the cells were washed 2 times with phosphate buffer, then fixed with 4 wt% paraformaldehyde solution, and then washed with phosphate buffer. Then 500. mu.L of a 10 wt% cetylpyridinium chloride solution was added to each well, incubated at 37 ℃ for 1h, and then the absorbance value was measured at 540nm, as shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a graph of the effect of smooth PEEK microspheres and PEEK porous microspheres of the inventive example 5 having a bread with mineralized extracellular matrix on intracellular calcium deposition. As can be seen from FIG. 9, the absorbance value of the smooth PEEK microsphere group is 1.303 + -0.355, the absorbance value of the PEEK porous microsphere group with mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surface is 2.418 + -0.092, and the absorbance value of the PEEK porous microsphere group with mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surface is obviously higher than that of the PEEK porous microsphere group with mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surface, which indicates that the PEEK porous microspheres with mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surface are beneficial to calcium deposition and promote the osteogenic mineralization.
Therefore, compared with smooth PEEK microspheres, the PEEK porous microspheres with mineralized extracellular matrix coated on the surfaces obviously improve the activity of cell alkaline phosphatase and calcium deposition in cells, promote osteogenic differentiation of the cells, and have important influence on the differentiation and growth of bones.
Example 6
Evaluation of bone repair effect using rat skull defect as a model for the smooth PEEK microspheres of example 1 and the PEEK porous microspheres of example 1 whose surfaces are coated with mineralized extracellular matrix:
the animal experiment uses SD female rats with the weight of 200-220 g, and a bone defect with the diameter of 5mm is milled on the skull of the female rats by using a milling drill as a critical bone defect. Rats were fasted 12h before surgery and water was excluded 2h before surgery. Rats were weighed before anesthesia and 0.3mL of anesthetic per 100g of body weight was administered using 10% (w/v) chloral hydrate as anesthetic. An electric skin preparation knife is used to prepare the skin of the skull area before the operation. After the limbs and the upper anterior teeth are fixed exactly, powerful iodine is used for disinfecting the operation area. The skin of about 3.5cm is cut at the middle of the skull from the back of the eye to the front of the ear by a dermatome, subcutaneous tissues are separated to periosteum by instruments such as tissue scissors, vascular forceps and the like, and the periosteum on the surface of the skull is continuously scraped by the dermatome, so that the wide and flat skull area on the two sides is fully exposed. Holding a carborundum flat head high-speed electric abrasive drill with the diameter of 5mm by two hands, controlling a pedal to operate, and continuously flushing the abrasive drill with sterile physiological saline to cool down so as to prevent the fragile tissue from being burnt. When the outer and inner plates of the skull are completely abraded away, the operation is stopped and 50 μ L of microspheres are aspirated by a pipette and injected into the bone defect area. The contralateral operation was as described above. Finally, the fascia and the like are carefully covered on the surface of the microsphere, so that the displacement of the material is prevented as much as possible, and the skin of the incision is carefully sutured. After intramuscular injection of antibiotics, rats were placed on the heat-insulating pad to accelerate the recovery from anesthesia. Each rat was intramuscularly infused with 8 ten thousand IU of penicillin sodium daily for 7 consecutive days after surgery. Rats were sacrificed at 4 weeks and 8 weeks, fixed with 4 wt% paraformaldehyde solution, then scanned by Micro CT, and the proportion of new bone in the defect area was calculated and counted using machine-compatible software, the results of which are shown in fig. 10. FIG. 10 is a graph showing the evaluation of the effect of smooth PEEK microspheres and PEEK porous microspheres coated with mineralized extracellular matrix on bone repair in example 6 of the present invention. As can be seen from FIG. 10, the neogenetic bone tissue fraction of the smooth PEEK microspheres at 4 weeks and 8 weeks was (29.514. + -. 1.553)% and (39.02. + -. 2.722)%, respectively. The PEEK porous microspheres coated with mineralized extracellular matrix have new bone tissue fractions of (42.186 +/-2.797)% and (65.190 +/-1.625)% at 4 weeks and 8 weeks, wherein the new bone tissue fractions are respectively higher than those of the PEEK porous microspheres coated with mineralized extracellular matrix. The result shows that the prepared porous PEEK microspheres with the surface coated with mineralized extracellular matrix can be injected into defect parts, and meanwhile, the repair effect on irregular critical bone defects is improved by accelerating the regeneration of bone tissues.
