This study aims to determine whether the expression levels of aging-associated factors in cumulus cells can serve as indicators of oocyte quality. Cumulus cells that are normally discarded during oocyte retrieval in IVF/ICSI procedures will be partially collected and analyzed. Specifically, the expression levels of CXCL5 and its receptor CXCR2 will be measured, and their association with fertilization rate, blastocyst formation, pregnancy outcomes, and chromosomal normality will be evaluated. Additional analyses including p16 (CDKN2A) expression and comprehensive gene expression profiling by RNA sequencing are also planned for selected samples.
Others
Measuring gene expression in cumulus cells that are not needed for treatment to verify whether oocyte aging can be indirectly diagnosed.
Confirmatory
Not applicable
Association between CXCL5 and CXCR2 expression levels in cumulus cells and oocyte developmental outcomes (fertilization rate, blastocyst formation rate, pregnancy outcomes, poregnancy rate, choromosome normality).
Secondary outcomes include the correlation between CXCL5 and CXCR2 expression levels and patient age, embryo morphological evaluation, ovarian stimulation protocols, and causes of infertility.

Female
Patients who have provided written informed consent of their own free will after receiving a thorough explanation of the study and fully understanding its contents.
Eligible participants are women aged 35 to 48 years who are scheduled to undergo intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and have agreed to provide cumulus cells collected at the time of oocyte retrieval.
Patients who have not provided written informed consent, unmarried female patients, and those deemed inappropriate for inclusion in the study by the attending physician.

This is a non-interventional observational study using cumulus cells that are normally discarded during IVF/ICSI procedures. The study aims to evaluate the association between aging-related markers (CXCL5, CXCR2, p16, etc.) and oocyte developmental competence. Transcriptome analysis (RNA-seq) is also planned for selected samples.
