COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ADMINISTRATION OF CFTR POLYPEPTIDES CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED REQUESTS This application claims the benefit of priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 802,871, filed February 8, 2019, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference. PRESENTATION OF THE LIST OF SEQUENCES IN ASCII TEXT FILE The contents of the submitted ASCII text file are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference: a Sequence Listing Computer Readable Form (CRF) (file name: 7613420001140SEQLIST.txt, date of record : January 17, 2020, size: 44 KB). FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present disclosure relates, in part, to recombinant nucleic acids comprising one or more polynucleotides encoding a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) polypeptide, viruses comprising the same, pharmaceutical compositions, and formulations thereof, and methods of their use (eg, to provide prophylactic, palliative, or therapeutic relief of one or more signs or symptoms of chronic lung disease, such as cystic fibrosis). BACKGROUND The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-activated bicarbonate-chloride channel that is critical for pulmonary homeostasis. Reduction or loss of CFTR channel function often leads to mucus stasis, chronic bacterial infections, and accompanying chronic inflammatory responses that promote progressive lung destruction. Decreases in CFTR expression have been suggested to be a component of the lung pathology seen in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and loss-of-function mutations in the CFTR gene cause the severe consequences associated with cystic fibrosis. (CF). 2,000+ unique mutations have been described in the CFTR gene. CF is an inherited disease characterized by a buildup of thick, sticky mucus that can damage many of the body's organs; however, the most serious pathological consequences are associated with the lungs. CF patients present with dehydrated mucus in the lungs leading to airway obstruction, chronic bacterial infections (and associated inflammatory responses), bronchiectasis, and ultimately respiratory failure. Currently, more than 70,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis around the world. Historically, children born with CF died as babies, and until 1980 the median survival was less than 20 years. Although medical advances in the past three decades have dramatically improved both the quality of life and life expectancy of CF patients (40.6 years in the United States as of 2013), there is a clear need for new treatment options that are lead to the molecular correction of CFTR deficiencies observed in CF patients, as well as patients suffering from other chronic lung diseases such as COPD.

Definitions Before describing the present disclosure in detail, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to particular compositions or biological systems, which, of course, can vary. It should also be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be zcoonn / i znz / R / v exhaustive. As used herein, the singular forms "a", "one" and "the" include plural referents, unless the content clearly indicates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to "a molecule" optionally includes a combination of two or more such molecules and the like. As used herein, the term "and / or" may include any and all of one or more of the associated listed items. For example, the term "a and / or b" may refer to "a alone," "b alone," "a or b," or "a and b"; the term a, b and / or c” can refer to “a alone”, “b alone”, “c alone”, “a or b”, “a or c”, “b or o”, a, b, or c”, “a and b”, “ a and c”, “b and c”, or “a, b and o”; etc As used herein, the term "about" refers to the usual error range for the respective value that is readily known to one skilled in the art. Reference to about a value or parameter herein includes (and describes) modalities that refer to that value or parameter itself. Aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure are understood to include aspects and embodiments of comprising, consisting of, and consisting essentially of. As used herein, the terms polynucleotide, nucleic acid sequence, nucleic acid, and variations thereof will be generic to polydeoxyribonucleotides (containing 2-deoxy-D-ribose), to polyribonucleotides (containing D-ribose), to any other type of polynucleotide that is an N-glycoside of a purine or pyrimidine base, and for other polymers containing non-nucleotide backbones, provided that the polymers contain nucleobases in a configuration that allows for base pairing and base stacking, as found in DNA and RNA. Thus, these terms include known types of nucleic acid sequence modifications, eg, substitution of one or more naturally occurring nucleotides with an analogue, and internucleotide modifications. As used herein, a nucleic acid is "operably linked" or "operably linked" when it is placed into a functional relationship with another nucleic acid sequence. For example, a promoter or enhancer is operably linked to a coding sequence if it affects transcription of the sequence, or a ribosome binding site is operably linked to a coding sequence if it is positioned to facilitate translation. Generally, "operably linked" or "operably linked" means that the DNA or RNA sequences being linked are contiguous. As used herein, the term "vector" refers to discrete elements that are used to introduce heterologous nucleic acids into cells for expression or replication. An expression vector includes vectors capable of expressing nucleic acids that are operably linked to regulatory sequences, such as promoter regions, that are capable of effecting expression of said nucleic acids. Thus, an expression vector can refer to a DNA or RNA construct, such as a plasmid, phage, recombinant virus, or other vector that, upon introduction into an appropriate host cell, results in the expression of the nucleic acids . Appropriate expression vectors are well known to those skilled in the art and include those that are replicable in eukaryotic cells and those that remain episomal or those that integrate into the host cell genome. zcoonn / i znz / R / viAi As used herein, an "open reading frame" or "ORF" refers to a continuous stretch of nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA, that encode a protein or polypeptide. Typically, nucleic acids comprise a translation start signal or start codon, such as ATG or AUG, and a stop codon. As used herein, an "untranslated region" or UTR" refers to untranslated nucleic acids at the 5' and / or 3' ends of an open reading frame. Inclusion of one or more UTRs in a polynucleotide can affect post-transcriptional regulation, mRNA stability, and / or translation of the polynucleotide. As used herein, the term "transgene" refers to a polynucleotide that is capable of being transcribed into RNA and translated and / or expressed under appropriate conditions, after being introduced into a cell. In some embodiments, it confers a desired property on a cell into which it is introduced, or otherwise leads to a desired therapeutic or diagnostic result. As used herein, the terms "polypeptide", "protein" and "peptide" are used interchangeably and can refer to a polymer of two or more amino acids. As used herein, a subject, "host" or an "individual" refers to any animal classified as a mammal, including humans, domestic and farm animals, and zoo, sporting or companion animals, such as dogs, horses, cats, cows, as well as animals used in research, such as mice, rats, hamsters, rabbits and non-human primates, etc. In some embodiments, the mammal is a human. As used herein, the terms "pharmaceutical formulation" or "pharmaceutical composition" refer to a preparation in such a way as to allow the efficacy of the biological activity of the active ingredient(s) and that it does not contain additional components with a toxicity unacceptable to a subject to whom the composition or formulation would be administered. "Pharmaceutically acceptable" excipients (eg, carriers, additives) are those that can reasonably be administered to a subject mammal to provide an effective dose of the active ingredient(s) employed. As used herein, an "effective amount" is at least the minimal amount necessary to effect medial amelioration or prevention of one or more symptoms of a particular disorder. An effective amount may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex and weight of the patient. An effective amount is also an amount in which any toxic or detrimental effects of the treatment are outweighed by therapeutically favorable effects. For prophylactic use, favorable or desired outcomes include outcomes such as elimination or reduction of risk, decreased severity or delayed onset of the disease, its complications, and intermediate pathologic phenotypes present during the course of the disease. For therapeutic use, favorable or desired results include clinical results such as a decrease in one or more symptoms arising from the disease, an increase in the quality of life of those suffering from the disease, a decrease in the dose of other drugs used to treat the disease, disease, delay in disease progression and / or prolongation of survival. An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations. For purposes of the present disclosure, an effective amount of a recombinant nucleic acid, virus, and / or pharmaceutical composition is an amount sufficient to directly or indirectly achieve prophylactic or therapeutic treatment. As understood in the clinical context, an effective amount of a recombinant nucleic acid, virus, and / or zcoonn / i znz / R / v pharmaceutical composition may or may not be achieved in conjunction with another drug, compound, or pharmaceutical composition. Thus, an "effective amount" may be considered in the context of the administration of one or more therapeutic agents and a single agent may be considered delivered in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more additional agents, a specific result can be or is achieved. desirable. As used herein, "treatment" refers to a clinical intervention designed to alter the natural course of the individual or cell under treatment during the course of clinical pathology. Desirable effects of treatment include reduction in the rate of progression of the disease / disorder / defect, improvement or mitigation of the disease / disorder / defect status, and remission or improved prognosis. For example, an individual is "successfully treated" if one or more symptoms associated with a chronic lung disease (eg, cystic fibrosis or COPD) are mitigated or eliminated. As used herein, the term "delaying the progression of a disease / disorder / defect" refers to delaying, hindering, slowing down, retarding, stabilizing, and / or postponing the development of the disease / disorder / defect (eg, fibrosis cystic or COPD). This delay may be of different length or time, depending on the history of the disease / disorder / defect and / or the individual being treated. As is apparent to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or considerable delay may effectively imply prevention, in the sense that the individual does not develop the disease.

Methods of delivering drugs to the lungs by oral, intranasal, intratracheal, and / or inhaled routes of administration or generally known to one skilled in the art (see, for example, Gardenhire et al. A Guide to Aerosol Delivery Devices for Respiratory Therapists 4th Edition, American Association for Respiratory care, 2017, Patil et al., Pulmonary Drug Delivery Strategies: AConcise, Systematic Review, Lung India, 2012. 29(1):44-9, Marx et al., Intranasal Drug Administration - An Attractive Delivery Route for Some Drugs, 2015). In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acids, viruses, drugs, and / or pharmaceutical compositions or formulations are delivered to the lungs by inhalation of an aerosolized formulation. Inhalation zcoonn / i znz / R / v may occur through the subject's nose and / or mouth. Exemplary devices for delivering the recombinant nucleic acids, viruses, drugs, and / or pharmaceutical compositions or formulations to the lung may include, but are not limited to, dry powder inhalers, pressurized metered-dose inhalers, fine mist inhalers, nebulizers (eg, jet nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers, vibrating mesh nebulizers), colliding jets, extruded jets, surface wave microfluidic atomization, capillary aerosol generation, electrohydrodynamic aerosol devices, etc, (see, for example, Carvalho and McConville. The function and performance of aqueous devices for inhalation therapy.(2016) Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology. Liquid formulations can be administered to a subject's lungs, for example, using a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI). pMDIs generally include at least two components: a can in which the liquid formulation is held under pressure in combination with one or more propellants, and a receptacle used to hold and drive the can. The canister may contain a single dose or multiple doses of the formulation. The can may include a valve, typically a metering valve from which the contents of the can can be discharged. Aerosolized drug is dispensed from the pMDI by applying a force to the canister to push it toward the receptacle, thereby opening the valve and causing drug particles to be transported from the valve through the receptacle outlet. Upon discharge of the can, the liquid formulation is atomized, which forms an aerosol. pMDIs typically employ one or more propellants to pressurize the contents of the can and propel the liquid formulation out of the receptacle outlet, which forms an aerosol. Any suitable propellant can be used, and can take a variety of forms, including, for example, a compressed gas or a liquefied gas. Liquid formulations can be administered to a subject's lungs, for example, through the use of a nebulizer. Nebulizers are liquid aerosol generators that convert the liquid formulation into mists or clouds of small droplets, often with diameters less than about 5 microns mass median aerodynamic diameter, which can be inhaled into the lower respiratory tract. The droplets carry the active agent(s) into the nose, upper respiratory tract, and / or deep lungs when the aerosol cloud is inhaled. Any type of nebulizer known in the art can be used to administer the formulation to a patient, including, but not limited to, pneumatic (jet) nebulizers, electromechanical nebulizers (eg, ultrasonic nebulizers, vibrating mesh nebulizers, etc. ) etc. Pneumatic (jet) nebulizers use a pressurized gas supply as a pushing force for atomization of the liquid formulation. Compressed gas is delivered through a nozzle or jet to create a low pressure field that entrains a surrounding liquid formulation and shears it into a thin film or filaments. The film or filaments are unstable and break into small droplets that are carried by the compressed gas flow towards the inspiratory breath. Baffles inserted into the small droplet boom filter out larger droplets and return them to the bulk liquid reservoir. Electromechanical nebulizers use electrically generated mechanical force to atomize liquid formulations. The electromechanical driving force can be applied, for example, by vibrating the liquid formulation at ultrasonic frequencies, or by forcing the bulk liquid through small holes in a thin film. The forces generate thin liquid films or filamentary streams that break up into small zcoonn / i znz / R / v droplets to form a slow-moving aerosol stream that can be entrained in an inspiratory flow. In some embodiments, the nebulizer is a vibrating mesh nebulizer. Examples of vibrating mesh nebulizers include, for example, the Phillips InnoSpire, the Aerogen Solo, the PARI eFlow, etc. Liquid formulations can be delivered to the lungs of a subject, for example, through the use of an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) aerosol device. EHD aerosol devices use electrical energy to aerosolize liquid drug solutions or suspensions. Dry powder formulations can be delivered to the lungs of a subject, for example, through the use of a dry powder inhaler (DPI). DPIs typically use a mechanism such as a gas explosion to create a cloud of dry powder inside a container, which can then be inhaled by the subject. In a DPI, the dose to be administered is stored in the form of a non-pressurized dry powder, after actuation of the inhaler, the powder particles are inhaled by the subject. In some cases, a compressed gas can be used to dispense the powder, similar to pMDIs. In some cases, the DPI can be breath actuated (an aerosol is created in precise response to inspiration). Dry powder inhalers typically deliver a dose of less than a few hundred milligrams per inhalation to avoid inducing coughing. Examples of DPI include, for example, the Turbohaler® inhaler (AstraZeneca), the Clickhaler® inhaler (Innovata), the Diskus® inhaler (Glaxo), the EasyHaler® (Orion), the Exúbera® inhaler (Pfizer), etc. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acids, viruses, drugs, and / or pharmaceutical compositions or formulations are administered once to the subject. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acids, viruses, drugs, and / or pharmaceutical compositions are administered to the subject at least twice (eg, at least 2 times, at least 3 times, at least 4 times, at least 5 times, at least 10 times, etc.). In some embodiments, at least about 1 hour elapses (for example, at least about 1 hour, at least about 6 hours, at least about 12 hours, at least about 18 hours, at least about 1 day, at least about 2 days, at least about 3 days, at least about 4 days, at least about 5 days, at least about 6 days, at least about 7 days, at least about 15 days, at least about least about 20 days, at least about 30 days, at least about 40 days, at least about 50 days, at least about 60 days, at least about 70 days, at least about 80 days, at least about 90 days, at least about 100 days, at least about 120 days, etc.) between administrations (eg, between the first and second administration, between the second and third administration, etc.). In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acids, viruses, drugs, and / or pharmaceutical compositions or formulations are administered one, two, three, four, five, or more times per day to the subject. In some embodiments, the recombinant nucleic acids, viruses, drugs, and / or pharmaceutical compositions or formulations are administered one, two, three, four, five, or more times per month to the subject.

EXAMPLES The present disclosure will be more fully understood with reference to the following examples. However, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. It is understood that the examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes will occur to those skilled in the art in light of these and are to be included within the spirit and scope of the present application and scope of the attached claims. Example 1: Modified Herpes Simplex Virus Vectors Encoding a Human CFTR Prompt To make vectors of modified herpes simplex virus genomes capable of expressing CFTR polypeptides in a target mammalian cell (such as lung cells), a herpes simplex virus genome is first modified (FIGURE 1 A) to inactivate one or more herpes simplex virus genes. Such modifications can decrease genome toxicity in mammalian cells. Variants of these modified / attenuated recombinant viral constructs are then generated such that they contain one or more polynucleotides encoding the desired CFTR polypeptide. These variants include: 1) a zcoonn / i znz / R / v modified HSV-1 genome with recombinant AICP4 comprising the expression cassettes containing the coding sequence (eg, SEQ ID NO: 2) of a CFTR polypeptide human (eg, SEQ ID NO: 5) under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into each ICP4 locus (FIGURE 1B); 2) a recombinant AICP4 / AUL41-modified HSV-1 genome comprising expression cassettes containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into each ICP4 locus (FIGURE 1C); 3) a recombinant AlCP4 / AUL41 modified HSV-1 genome comprising an expression cassette containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into the UL41 locus (FIGURE 1D); 4) a recombinant AICP4 / AICP22-modified HSV-1 genome comprising expression cassettes containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into each ICP4 locus (FIGURE 1E); 5) a recombinant AICP4 / AICP22 modified HSV-1 genome comprising an expression cassette containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into the ICP22 locus (FIGURE 1F); 6) a recombinant AICP4 / AUL41 / AICP22 modified HSV-1 genome comprising expression cassettes containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into each ICP4 locus (FIGURE 1G); 7) a recombinant AICP4 / AUL41 / AICP22 modified HSV-1 genome comprising an expression cassette containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into the UL41 locus (FIGURE 1H); and 8) a recombinant AICP4 / AUL41 / AICP22 modified HSV-1 genome comprising an expression cassette containing the coding sequence for a human CFTR polypeptide under the control of a heterologous promoter integrated into the ICP22 locus (FIGURE 11). These modified herpes simplex virus genome vectors are transfected into genetically altered cells that are modified to express one or more herpes virus genes. These genetically altered cells secrete into the cell culture supernatant a replication-defective herpes simplex virus with the modified genomes wrapped therein. The supernatant is then collected, concentrated and sterile filtered through a 5 pm filter. Example 2: Construction and in vitro characterization of an HSV-1 vector encoding the human CFTR in 2D cultures Initial lung gene therapy clinical trials occurred in the early 1990s after the discovery of the genetic defect responsible for cystic fibrosis. Recombinant adenovirus was one of the early vectors evaluated for CFTR delivery, however, adeno-based vectors failed these trials due to the paucity of viral receptors on the apical lung surface and the severity of the host's immune response to the virus. repeated viral administration. The other viral gene therapy vectors administered to CF patients were adeno-associated virus-based (numerous AAV serotypes have been evaluated in the CF clinical setting). Large-scale, repeat-dose studies of AAV-based gene therapy vectors have provided disappointing results in terms of improvement in CF lung function in dosed patients. Like adenoviruses, recombinant AAV vectors do not efficiently infect the apical lung surface and, due to physical limitations on the size of the encoded payload, AAV vectors do not efficiently deliver zcoonn / i znz / R / v the full length of the CFTR human. Despite more than two decades of intensive efforts, virus-based gene therapies have still not helped patients with CF (or any other obstructive lung disease). Currently, according to the US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, there are no ongoing clinical trials of viral gene therapies in CF, and there are only two virus-based gene therapy vectors in preclinical development (both AAV-based, a vector that, as noted above, has already failed in multiple clinical trials in CF patients). Instead, attention has shifted from virus-based vectors to non-viral methods of CFTR delivery (eg, plasmid DNA or mRNA complexed with liposomes). Unfortunately, these non-viral vectors have had only limited success, due, at least in part, to significant obstacles faced by product instability and / or inefficient delivery / transfection of liposomal formulations. In total, more than 25 clinical trials involving more than 470 patients testing viral and non-viral gene vectors have failed to show clinical benefit, largely due to ineffective gene transfer to target cells. and to immune-mediated clearance from the host upon repeated exposure. Therefore, a recombinant herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) vector encoding the full-length human CFTR (HSV-CFTR) has been developed as a novel gene therapy for the treatment of CF patients. Without wishing to be bound by theory, an HSV-based approach is believed to overcome many of the obstacles experienced by other CF gene therapy vectors, including the ability to encode full-length human CFTR, high efficiency of target cell transduction (HSV preferentially infects the apical membrane of polarized epithelial cells), virus stability, and the established clinical safety of repeated administration of a product employing the same viral backbone as HSV-CFTR in the setting of the highly inflammatory environment of wounded skin (ClinicalThals.gov Identifier: NCT03536143). The following example describes experiments showing that this novel HSV-based gene therapy vector was able to express functional full-length human CFTR in patient-derived small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) in a dose-dependent manner. HSV-CFTR was constructed as described in Example 1 above. Primary SAEC from CF patients cultured in 2D were left uninfected (mock) or infected with HSV-CFTR at multiplicities of infection (MCI) of 0.3, 1, or 3. Human CFTR expression was assessed 48 hours later. of infection in harvested cells by quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Codon-optimized CFTR transcripts were detected in infected primary CF SAECs at an MOI as low as 0.3, and appeared to show a dose-dependent increase in transgene expression up to an MOI of 3.0 (FIGURE 2). . Little or no exogenous CFTR RNA was observed in mock-infected control samples, demonstrating the specificity of the assay for the human HSV-encoded transgene. CFTR protein expression in HSV-CFTR-infected primary CF SAECs was assessed by Western blot analysis. GAPDH was used as a control to ensure consistent loading of the samples. SAEC from CF patients overexpressed human CFTR when infected with HSV-CFTR, in zcoonn / i znz / B / v compared to mock-infected control cells (FIGURE 3). Interestingly, while the endogenous CFTR protein in mock-infected cells resolved as a single band slightly larger than 150 kDa (the predicted size of full-length human CFTR is 168 kDa), the exogenous CFTR protein expressed in cells transduced by HSV-CFTR appeared as a doublet of significantly larger size. Human CFTR is known to exist in three different forms depending on the glycosylation state: (1) unglycosylated; (2) glycosylated in the nucleus; and (3) complex glycosylated, fully mature (Scanlin, 2001, Respir Res, 2(5), pp. 276-9). The appearance of the single lower molecular weight band in cells from mock-infected CF patients suggested that the endogenous (mutant) protein only exists in the unglycosylated form, indicating an immature protein variant that does not adequately transit the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cell surface. In contrast, the appearance of the two largest forms of CFTR in HSV-CFTR-infected cells revealed extensive post-translational modification of the human transgene, likely representing the core-glycosylated and complex-glycosylated variants of CFTR, suggesting proper maturation and trafficking of the exogenous protein through the ER. CFTR protein expression and relative localization was then examined by immunofluorescence. Primary SAECs from CF patients were transduced with HSV-CFTR at the indicated MCIs for 48 hours, and immunofluorescence staining for human CFTR was performed. A mock-infected control sample was added to show baseline levels and cellular localization of endogenous mutant CFTR protein in these diseased cells. When analyzed in the context of control cells, immunofluorescence data demonstrated that transduced SAECs displayed a HSV-CFTR dose-dependent increase in CFTR protein expression (FIGURE 4A). When comparing the relative cellular localization of CFTR expressed in SAEC from mock-infected vs. HSV-CFTR-infected CF patients (FIGURE 4B), CFTR expressed in uninfected cells appeared to be relegated to the perinuclear region (suggesting entrapment and turnover in the ER), while CFTR was found throughout the cytoplasm and on the cell surface of cells transduced by HSV-CFTR (indicating proper maturation in the ER and trafficking through ER). this). These data are consistent with Western blot data suggesting that the wild-type CFTR expressed by the HSVCFTR was fully glycosylated whereas the mutant endogenous CFTR was unglycosylated (FIGURE 3). Finally, the functionality of human CFTR expressed by HSV-CFTR in SAECs from infected CF patients was confirmed using a dihydrorhodamine 6G (dR6G) fluorescent dye uptake assay that was previously validated as a functional endpoint for restoration. virus-mediated CFTR in 2D cultured epithelial cells from CF patients (Wersto, 1996, Proc Nati Acad Sci USA, 93(3), pp. 1167-72). Briefly, SAECs from HSV-CFTR-infected or mock-infected primary CF patients were incubated with dR6G-containing cell culture medium for 15 min, washed four times with PBS, used in RIPA buffer, and the concentration read. 526 nm excitation / 555 nm emission fluorescence for each sample in a plate reader. dR6G does not fluoresce itself, but is converted to the fluorescent compound rhodamine 6G upon cellular uptake and exposure to intracellular dehydrogenases, a process that depends on the presence of functional CFTR (Wersto, 1996, Proc Nati Acad Sci USA, 93(3), pp. 1167-72). A BCA assay was performed on zcoonn / i znz / R / v each cell lysate to quantify total protein content, and relative fluorescence per total protein in pg was calculated for each sample (FIGURE 5). HSV-CFTR infection of SAEC from primary CF patients caused a modest dose-dependent increase in dR6G uptake compared with mock-infected controls, indicating that HSV-CFTR was able to restore CFTR function in these diseased primary epithelial cells. Example 3: In Vitro Pharmacology and Dosage of HSV-CFTR in 3D Organotypic Cultures Using Organoids Derived from CF Patients Mutations in the CFTR gene are classified into one of six classes based on the primary mechanism that leads to CFTR malfunction. Mutations that affect synthesis and processing result in more severe disease, as little or no protein reaches the cell surface; mutations that do not interfere with luminal trafficking but reduce CFTR-mediated anion efflux typically result in less severe symptoms due to retention of some residual CFTR function at the apical membrane (Foundation, 2019, 2018 Annual Data Repcrt, Bethesda : Cystic Fibrosis Foundation). Because CFTR mutations affect distinctive steps in protein synthesis and function, recent drug development efforts have focused on small molecule modulatory therapies that target a specific source of the protein defect. For example, ivacaftor, subclassified as a CFTR protein enhancer, increases membrane CFTR chloride secretion (providing clinical benefit for people with specific CFTR conductance and gating class III and IV mutations), while that elexacaftor, subclassified as a CFTR protein proofreader, acts by facilitating the correct folding and cellular processing of CFTR that would otherwise be degraded by the endoplasmic reticulum quality control pathway (providing clinical benefit to people with specific mutations of class II CFTR traffic) (Clancy, 2019, Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 186(7), pp. 593-7). Although the recent FDA approval of four of these modulating therapies has been a boon for CF patients who harbor the specific mutations that respond to these drugs, these modulators only treat a subset of the CF population. Patients harboring class I mutations (responsible for approximately 10% of CF cases worldwide), which encompass frameshift, splicing, and nonsense mutations that result in severely severe CFTR expression. reduced or absent, they need effective pharmacological intervention, as these patients suffer from the harshest and deadliest forms of CF (Wilschanski, 2012, Front Pharmacol, 20(3), pp. 1-3). Due to the lack of suitable animal models for CF, efficacy studies on differentiated air-fluid interface bronchial epithelial cells derived from lung explant materials from CF patients have been used for some drug development efforts following testing of proof of concept in 2D heterologous cell systems (Neuberger, 2011, Methods Mol Biol, 741(1), pp. 39-54) (Randell, 2011, Methods Mol Biol, 742(1), pp. 285-310). However, the limited availability of lung explant tissues from tissues and the invasive procedures required to obtain bronchial cells from CF patients without end-stage disease have led to the development of 3D organotypic systems derived from readily accessible tissues collected from CF mutant patients. CFTR, to test new therapies to treat CF. One such technology, using a zcoonn / i znz / R / v forskolin-induced inflammation (FIS) assay, uses CF patient-derived intestinal organoids (PDOs) to studying the function of the CFTR protein alone or in response to pharmaceutical intervention (Dekkers, 2013, NatMed, 19(7), pp. 939-45), and has proven to be a breakthrough in CF drug development. When exposed to forskolin, organoids rapidly increase their cyclic AMP content, which in turn causes the CFTR channel to open. Organoids derived from biopsies taken from healthy individuals swell as a consequence of CFTR-mediated transport of ions and water into the lumen of the organoid, whereas organoids derived from biopsies from CFTR motant patients (or from wild-type organoids exposed to inhibition pharmacological function-specific CFTR protein) have a reduced or completely inhibited swelling capacity (Boj, 2017, J Vis Exp, 120(1), p. e55159). The use of CF PDO allows quantitative measurement of CFTR protein function (through detection of organoid swelling) following treatment with new therapies, and positive results from this 3D organotypic system have been shown to be directly correlate with clinical benefit, which includes both changes in lung responses and sweat chloride concentration in treated CF patients (Berkers, 2019, CelIRep, 26(7), pp. 1701-1708). . The following example describes experiments showing that the recombinant HSV-1 vector HSVCFTR, characterized in Example 2 above, was capable of rescuing the cystic phenotype of CF PDOs, independent of the underlying CFTR mutation. The ability of HSV-CFTR to restore functional CFTR expression was tested in clinically relevant 3D organotypic cultures using intestinal organoids derived from four different CF patients; (1) a female patient homozygous for a CFTR mutation F508del (class II mutation), (2) a male patient also homozygous for the F508del mutation, (3) a female patient homozygous for a CFTR nonsense mutation G542X (mutation class I), and (4) a female patient homozygous for a CFTR missense mutation W1282X (class I mutation). To assess CFTR activity in transduced organoids, organoid morphology and size were assessed 24 or 48 hours post-infection, and FIS assay performed as previously described (Boj, 2017, J Vis Exp, 120(1), p.e55159). For efficient infection of CF organoids, organoids were cut into small fragments, incubated in solution with HSV-CFTR at the indicated MOIs for 1 hour, and plated in 96-well clear bottom plates for analysis. The FIS assay was carried out 24 or 48 hours after seeding, as described in more detail below. First, PDO G542X / G542X was infected at MOIs of 10, 20 and 40 to assess both the impact of the vector on organoid swelling and cell viability. Intestinal organoids derived from a healthy patient were plated in parallel for comparison. Surprisingly, HSV-CFTR transduced organoids showed lumen formation and clear cystic morphology mimicking wild-type PDOs 24 hours after infection, suggesting complete functional correction of the diseased phenotype by the genetically altered vector. before the addition of forskolin (FIGURE 6A). An HSV vector expressing mCherry was used as a negative control to demonstrate that alterations in PDO morphology observed in HSV-CFTR-treated samples were not due to a non-specific response to viral infection. Next, a zcoonn / i znz / R / v FIS assay was performed 48 hours after infection. At t=0, prior to forskolin addition and subsequent CFTR activation, HSV-CFTR-treated organoids already possessed significantly greater lumen area, compared with vehicle-treated or mCherry-infected organoids, consistent with with observations made 24 hours after infection (FIGURE 6B). Interestingly, only a moderate increase in organoid swelling was observed 60 minutes after forskolin addition (t=60) in HSV-CFTR transduced organoids, probably because these organoids were already near their maximum. swelling potential prior to forskolin exposure (FIGURE 6C). The G542X / G542X mutation can be (at least partially) corrected by exposure to the aminoglycoside geneticin (G418) which allows translational readout of the nonsense mutation, and G418 was included in this assay as a positive control. Although G542X / G542X PDOs swelled in the presence of G418 at t=60, the average size of organoids in these positive control samples was significantly smaller than that of HSV-CFTR challenged PDOs (FIGS. 6B and 6C). Mild to moderate vector toxicity was observed in G542X / G542X PDOs 48 hours post-infection when HSV-CFTR was used at MOI 20 or 40, and toxicity at MOI^20 is likely the cause of the toxicity. lower swelling capacity observed in these organoids, compared to samples infected at an MOI of 10. However, although a cytotoxic effect was observed at high MOIs, the treated organoids still outperformed the small molecule positive control. Because HSV-CFTR corrected diseased organoids to wild-type morphology (large cystic lumen) in all MOIs tested within 24 hours, and higher doses of HSV-CFTR appeared to have a negative impact on organoids. in swelling assays, the three remaining cystic fibrosis PDOs were evaluated with lower doses of HSV-CFTR (MOIs of 1, 5, and 10) and analyzed by FIS assay 24 hours post infection. First, HSV-CFTR was evaluated in PDOs derived from a patient who is homozygous for the CFTR F508del mutation. F508del is the most common mutation in patients with cystic fibrosis; at least one copy of this allele is found in approximately 85% of CF patients worldwide, and F508del accounts for approximately 70% of CFTR loss-of-function mutations (Maiuri, 2015, Ann Transí Med, 3 (Supple 1), p. S24). Most of the F508del organoid cultures tested showed a cystic (wild-type) morbidity 24 hours after infection with HSV-CFTR, even at the lowest dose tested (MOI of 1). The mean size of HSV-CFTR-treated F508del organoids was significantly increased compared to vehicle control or mCHerry-infected organoids before the addition of forskolin (FIGURE 7A). No significant change in mean organoid size was detected upon addition of forskolin in HSV-CFTR-transduced samples, as these organoids are believed to be already at or near their maximum swelling capacity, i.e., pre-inflated” (FIGURE 7B). Importantly, the functional correction of the CFTR defect in F508del organoids was found to be similar between organoids treated with HSV-CFTR before forskolin treatment and organoids exposed to Orkambi® positive control 60 minutes after forskolin treatment ( FIGURE 7A versus FIGURE 7B). Orkambi® is a lumacaftor / ivacaftor combination therapy that is FDA-approved for the treatment of CF patients 2 years of age and older who are homozygous for the F508del mutation. No apparent cytotoxicity attributable to the vector was observed in any of the MOIs evaluated. zcoonn / i znz / R / v Next, organoids derived from a patient homozygous for a second nonsense CFTR mutation (W1282X) were infected with HSV-CFTR, and organoid size quantified before and after forskolin addition. Consistent with the data presented in FIGURE 6 above, HSV-CFTR effectively restored the wild-type cystic phenotype and increased mean organoid size 24 hours post-infection in W1282X / W1282X nonsense-CFTR PDOs before the addition of forskolin (FIGURE 8A). Again, the HSVCFTR at an MCI as low as 1 appeared to correct disease morphology both before and after the addition of forskolin (FIGS. 8A and 8B). G418 was also included in these experiments; however, W1282X / W1282X PDOs were found to be unresponsive to this aminoglycoside readout, so no positive control could be included in this experiment (as no effective therapy currently exists for all CFTR nonsense mutations). These data suggest that HSV-CFTR could restore CFTR function in both G418-responsive and non-responsive CFTR-null patient samples. Finally, the organoids of a second F508del homozygous patient were evaluated. HSV-CFTR-infected PDOs had a slightly larger mean size compared to vehicle-treated organoids, but this difference was not statistically significant (FIGS. 9A and 9B). Data from these studies revealed that transduction of CF intestinal organoids with HSV-CFTR resulted in a striking alteration of organoid morphology, from a compact budding CF phenotype to a cystic organoid phenotype containing a lumen. well-defined showing wild-type characteristics within 24 hours of infection with MOIs ranging from 1 to 40. This wild-type pre-swollen phenotype was quantitatively demonstrated by measuring the total organoid size, prior to the addition of forskolin and the resulting activation of CFTR, compared to multiple negative controls. Due to the pre-swollen nature of the HSV-CFTR transduced organoids, the ability of forskolin to stimulate further swelling was limited. The observation of corrected cystic morphology in CF organoids exposed to low doses of HSV-CFTR suggested that high levels of exogenous wild-type CFTR expressed in a minority of cells was sufficient to establish correction of the disease, indicating a dominant effect of this therapeutic modality. One F508del organoid showed slightly less efficient restoration of the wild-type phenotype compared to the other CF organoid cultures examined; however, cystic morphology was observed in all HSV-CFTR-infected CF organoids at an MOI of 5 or higher. The differences observed between the different cultures of CF intestinal organoids were probably due to slight alterations in their proliferative or differentiation status at the time of infection, and therefore it is unlikely that the CFTR genotype itself contributed significantly. significantly to the efficiency of HSV-CFTR transduction or to the functional expression of CFTR. In other words, HSV-CFTR corrected the diseased CF phenotype regardless of the underlying CFTR mutation in this clinically translatable 3D organotypic system. Taken together, the data provided in these Examples indicate that HSV-CFTR ably infected relevant airway epithelia, efficiently produced functional human CFTR, and molecularly corrected multiple CFTR defects without significant toxicity. Without wishing to be bound by theory, these studies are considered to represent the first case of experimental validation of an attenuated HSV-based gene therapy vector for zcoonn / i znz / R / v delivery of full-length functional human CFTR, supporting the application of HSV-CFTR as a novel and widely applicable gene therapy for the treatment of CF. Example 4: proof of concept of in vivo delivery of an HSV-based inhaled vector The following example describes a proof-of-concept in vivo study examining the feasibility of delivering an HSV-based vector to the trachea and / or lungs of immunocompetent animals following intranasal or intratracheal administration of the virus. All procedures performed in this example complied with applicable animal welfare laws and were approved by the local Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC). 10 C57BL / 6 mice, five to six weeks old, were used in the study, five of which received either HSV-mCherry (described above) or vehicle control by intratracheal administration, and five of which received HSV-mCherry or vehicle control. vehicle by intranasal administration. Before the experimental procedures, the animals were sedated with an intraperitoneal injection of a telazol / dexdomitor mixture, and an ophthalmic ointment was applied to the eyes to prevent drying of the corneas. For intratracheal administration, the neck of each mouse was shaved with an electric shaver and depilatory cream was applied to remove all remaining hair. Next, the surgical area was swabbed twice with 70% ethanol-soaked swabs, and the anesthetized mice were placed in an inclined holding bracket. A small incision was made in the neck with surgical scissors, and the thymus, platysma, and anterior tracheal muscles were removed to allow visualization and access to the tracheal rings. A 25pL intratracheal injection of 4.9375x108 plaque-forming units (PFU) HSV-mCherry was given to three animals, while a 25pL intratracheal injection of vehicle control was given to two animals, and each mouse was held in a hanging position until their breathing gradually returned to normal. The incision site was closed with single, individually knotted sutures. For intranasal administration, mice were anesthetized as described above, and placed in an inclined clamp. Three mice were each inoculated intranasally with 4.9375x108 PFU of virus formulated in 25pL (12.5pL per nostril). The release rate of the formulation was adjusted to allow the mouse to inhale the inoculum, without forming bubbles, during the inspiration phase of respiration. Two mice were given 25pL of vehicle control following the same procedure. After administration, the animals were kept in a hanging position until their respiration returned to normal. All animals were allowed to recover from anesthesia and provided ad libitum food and water until sacrifice. 48 hours after administration, the mice were sacrificed and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed on the left and right lungs using sterile saline. The BAL fluid was collected, centrifuged, and cell pellets collected. The upper parts of the trachea were then collected and subjected to flash freezing in liquid nitrogen for nucleic acid quantification. Lungs (left lobe, right upper lobe, right middle lobe, and right lower and postcaval lobes) were harvested individually and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen for nucleic acid analysis or perfused in 4% neutral buffered formalin and paraffin embedded for zcoonn / i znz / R / v immunofluorescence analysis. For immunofluorescence staining of paraffin-embedded lung tissue, an Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated pancytokeratin antibody was used to detect epithelial cells (Invitrogen cat. no. 53-9003-82), and an anti- mCherry rabbit (Abcam cat# ab213511) and an Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated secondary antibody (Abcam cat# ab150080) to detect infected cells. Tissue samples were mounted in mounting media containing DAPI to visualize nuclei. Intranasal versus intratracheal administration of HSV-mCherry resulted in similar levels of mCherry transcripts that are detected in lung tissue of transduced animals (FIGURE 10A). Interestingly, while little or no transgene transcription was identified in the tracheas of intranasally challenged mice, a strong mCherry transcript was detected in the tracheas of intratracheally challenged mice, with no statistical difference observed. in the expression of transgenes between the lungs and the tracheas of these animals treated by invasive route. In addition, a higher total cell count per mL of BAL fluid was observed in intratracheally administered animals (646,667 cells / mL and 393,333 cells / mL for intratracheal and intranasal administration, respectively), suggesting a higher cell influx. inflammation in the lungs after intratracheal administration of the HSV-based vector. Expression of transgenic proteins in lung epithelial tissue was observed in both intranasal (FIGURE 10B) and intratracheally challenged (FIGURE 10C) animals with HSV-mCherry, but not in the corresponding vehicle controls. Taken together, these data indicate that a genetically altered HSV vector can be delivered to the lungs of immunocompetent animals via multiple routes of administration and, furthermore, that a non-invasive inhaled route of administration allows for similar levels of transgene expression in the lungs than a more direct and invasive route of administration, while inducing less cell invasion (inflammatory). Example 5: nebulization of HSV-CFTR The following example describes a study examining a non-invasive nebulizer-based route for delivery of HSV-CFTR into the airways of immunocompetent wild-type and CFTR-deficient mice. 16 mice are used in the study: 12 immunocompetent C57BL / 6 animals and 4 immunocompetent gut-corrected CFTR-deficient animals. Table 1 provides a summary of the study. 4 wild-type animals are administered HSV-CFTR by intranasal instillation, while the remaining animals are administered HSV-CFTR (or vehicle control) by nebulization (eg, using a vibrating mesh nebulizer). 48 hours after dosing, animals are sacrificed, BAL fluid is collected, and tissue samples are collected throughout the respiratory tract and lungs, i.e., upper and lower trachea, left and right bronchi, lung left and right lung (upper, middle, lower, and post-cavus lobes, individually). Tissues from two animals / group are snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and processed for nucleic acid analysis. Vector genomes / 50ng total DNA in each tissue are quantitated by qPCR analysis; human CFTR transcripts / 50ng total RNA in each tissue are quantitated by zcoonn / i znz / R / v qRT-PCR assay. Tissues from the remaining two animals / group are perfused and paraffin embedded for immunofluorescence / immunohistochemistry. BAL fluid is processed to examine the infiltration of immune cells into the lungs. zcoonn / i znz / R / v Table 1 - Study design Group Treatment Route n Animals Necropsy 1 Vehicle Inhalation 4 C57BL / 6 48 hours 2 HSV-CFTR Intranasal instillation 4 C57BL / 6 3 HSV-CFTR Inhalation 4 C57BL / 6 4 HSV-CFTR Inhalation 4 CFTRfmíU™Tg(FABPCFTR)
