Objectives

Narrative objectives1

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.

Basic objectives -Others

Measuring gene expression in cumulus cells that are not needed for treatment to verify whether oocyte aging can be indirectly diagnosed.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

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).

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes include the correlation between CXCL5 and CXCR2 expression levels and patient age, embryo morphological evaluation, ovarian stimulation protocols, and causes of infertility.

Other

Other related information

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.
