AI Technical Summary
Existing gene therapy approaches, such as adeno-associated viruses (AAVs), are inadequate for delivering nucleic acids larger than 5 kb, like the ABCA4 gene, which is crucial for treating Stargardt disease, due to their limited capacity, and mRNA is inherently unstable and prone to degradation, necessitating improved lipid nanoparticle formulations for effective nucleic acid delivery to the retina.
Lipid nanoparticles composed of specific lipids, including SS-OP, cholesterol, and PEGylated lipids, are used to encapsulate nucleic acid-based agents encoding mobile element enzymes and donor DNA, enabling efficient delivery and expression of ABCA4 in the retina to treat Stargardt disease.
The lipid nanoparticle formulations effectively deliver and express ABCA4, reducing retinaldehyde and iso-A2E accumulation, improving visual acuity, and preventing photoreceptor loss, with potential for substantial visual improvement and reduced lipofuscin accumulation in the retina.

[0001]SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USING GENE CODING FOR TREATING OCULAR DISEASE FIELD The present disclosure relates to lipid nanoparticles and uses thereof, e.g. for treating Stargardt disease. CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 561,564, filed on March 5, 2024, U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 642,295, filed on May 3, 2024, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 688,045 filed on August 28, 2024, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. SEQUENCE LISTING The instant application contains a Sequence Listing that has been submitted electronically in XML file format and is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. The Sequence Listing for this application is labeled “SAL-043PC_SequenceListing”, which was created on March 4, 2025, and is 54,698 bytes in size. BACKGROUND Macular Degeneration is a condition in which cells of the macula, found in the center of the retina - the tissue at the back of the eye that senses light - become damaged. Vision loss usually occurs gradually and typically affects both eyes at different rates. Inherited Macular Degeneration (IMD), also called Macular Dystrophy (MD) refers to a group of heritable disorders that cause ophthalmoscopically visible abnormalities in the retina. Stargardt disease (STGD1) is a common macular dystrophy characterized by bilateral progressive loss of visual acuity and central vision. The phenotype is caused by more than 2000 DNA variants in the 6.8 kb coding region of the ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 4 gene (ABCA4). The gene encodes for a retinal-specific transmembrane protein in the photoreceptor (PR) outer segment (OS) that transports retinoids for visual cycle processing. STGD1 is manifested by deposition of lipofuscin, a fluorescent mixture of partially digested proteins and lipids, in the lysosomal compartment of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which precedes photoreceptor degeneration. An increasing amount of research on the clinical and molecular genetics of STGD1 / ABCA4 has been performed over the past 15 years. 1DB1 / 146899640.4 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 However, gene therapy development for MD diseases has been challenging because commonly used adeno- associated viruses (AAVs) do not have the capacity for a gene with a coding sequence larger than 5 kb, which includes ABCA4 (6.8 kb), the gene responsible for STGD, among other retinal disorders. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a type of lipid vesicles that possess a lipid core. These vesicles are used in, e.g., nucleic acid delivery. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is inherently unstable and prone to degradation by nucleases and self-hydrolysis. Encapsulation of mRNA within LNPs protects the mRNA from extracellular ribonucleases and assists with intracellular mRNA delivery. A variety of lipids have been developed for use in LNPs, yet there remains a need for specific formulations for nucleic acid delivery, especially large size and complicated nucleic acid cargoes involving mRNA, that can effectively be used in specific tissues or organs (e.g., retina) for efficiently preventing and treating IMD such as Stargardt disease. SUMMARY In various aspects, the present invention provides compositions and methods for treating and / or mitigating Inherited Macular Degeneration (IMD) disorders, which are a major cause of blindness worldwide such as IMD includes Stargardt disease.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS The patent or application file contains at least one drawing executed in color. Copies of this patent or patent application publication with color drawings will be provided by the Office upon request and payment of the necessary fee. FIG. 1 is a histogram demonstrating the therapeutic window for SS-OP / ABCA4 DNA delivery and that tolerability is driven by the copy number of DNA delivered. GFP vs. Abca4 were used as cargo within SS-OP LNPs (36.3% SS-OP, 50.7% Cholesterol, 9.8% DOPE, 5% PEG) and the therapeutic index was evaluated. OCT measurements were taken at day 12 (D12) of the mice injected subretinally with the LNPs. The degeneration score indicated that tolerability is driven by the number of molecules of DNA delivery, regardless of the DNA size or sequence. The x axis provides the nucleic acid concentration in nM and corresponding abca4 and GFP amounts in ng. Based on the differences in cargo base pair size, the amount DB1 / 146899640.4 5 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 of abca4 or GFP was modified to match the same nM of nucleic acid. Here, 7 nM was shown to be the therapeutic index for the DNA regardless of the cargo size with an OCT degeneration score <1 on average. The green highlights represent GFP DNA, and the grey highlights represent the abca4 DNA. FIGS.2A-2B are series of histograms depicting that SS-OP / ABCA4 delivery to photoreceptors (PRs) and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells following subretinal (SR) injection was within current therapeutic index (TI). FIG.2A: Disclosed formulations deliver preferentially to the RPE, with lower efficiency in the neural retina. Quantifying DNA delivery and the transcript produced. For 7 nM of DNA (25 ng for GFP and 50 ng for Abca4) Copy number per cell are graphed.0.01 copies / cell for neural retina and 1 copy / cell for RPE are seen for both Abca4 and GFP. Overall, abca4 DNA delivery is lowered compared to GFP. FIG.2B: Transcription of the DNA into mRNA by using RT-qPCR fold change compared to PBS blank. Both Abca4 and GFP have the same level of fold change indicating increased levels of mRNA produced from the DNA, indicating that LNP delivery of Abca4 is productive and leads to transcription of mRNA as well. FIGS.3A-3B are series of images and a graph showing neural retina integration following subretinal (SR) delivery of AAV5 with LNP and the present mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1). The study evaluated dual subretinal delivery into mice staggered by 21 days (AAV followed by LNP with Cre mRNA+Mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA (36.3% SS-OP, 50.7% Cholesterol, 9.8% DOPE, 5% PEG)). FIG. 3A: fundus images taken in the Green GFP channel indicating GFP expression of AAV5 and red-tdTomato channel indicating widespread expression by the Cre LNP. In the dual injected groups, the merge demonstrated a large population of cells received dual mRNA leading to dual protein expression. It is concluded that cells that received Cre mRNA and showed a positive expression, also received the present mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA given that they were coencapsulated in the same LNP. FIG. 3B: The copy number per cell via ddPCR of cells in the neural retina (~80% photoreceptors) that express both GFP from AAV and cre / mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) from LNP. All doses, with 0.05 ug / ml being the highest show an increase in DNA copy number compared to AAV alone, indicative of integration via Mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1). Increased levels of mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) showed low tolerability, as demonstrated by a decrease in DNA copy number. FIGS.4A-4B are series of images and a graph showing that ABCA4 + mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA delivery into photoreceptors (PRs) occurred with good tolerability. The formulation evaluated was SS-OP LNP (36.3% SS-OP, 50.7% Cholesterol, 9.8% DOPE, 5% PEG)) with CAG-hAbca4 NP and mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA. FIG.4A: Minimal to a no degeneration was observed with SS- DB1 / 146899640.4 6 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 OP / ABCA4+ mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) delivery to the retina. The OCT degeneration score of the ONL is within the tolerable range for LNPs for both doses. An average score of < 0.5 indicates high tolerability for this dual loaded LNP. FIG. 4B: ABCA4 expression corresponds to about 5-10% of photoreceptors (PRs) in the entire retina FACS showing data isolating photoreceptors (CD73+) from the whole retina and further isolating for Abca4+ cells. Compared to background (2.7%) both doses of LNP indicate increased Abca4 expression of > 5%. Abca4 protein is therefore expressed in 5-10% of the Photoreceptors in the neural retina whereas only 10-15% of Abca4+ cells are needed in the treated area. Note: treated area is 1 / 3 of whole retina. FIG.5 is a series of images demonstrating that SS-OP / ABCA4 and mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) are expressed in mouse photoreceptors (PRs). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays showed DAPI stained in blue, PNA lectin stains the inner and outer segments of the photoreceptors (red), RPE65 (purple) stains the RPE layer, and Abca4 is labelled green. As expected, the Abca4 was localized to the outer segments of the photoreceptors which themselves were naturally expressed as a transport protein. The localization showed that the LNP was able to deliver the Abca4 DNA and the DNA was able to be translated into protein that is expressed in the OS of the photoreceptors. FIG.6 shows a bar graph demonstrating samples treated with SS-OP / ABCA4 and mobile element enzyme showed 40% reduction in A2E signal when compared to vehicle control. FIGs.7A-7B show two graphs that demonstrate that SS-OP was delivered to target tissues within treated areas.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present methods and compositions are useful for, inter alia, retina-directed gene therapy for Stargardt disease (STGD) caused by mutations in an ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4 (ABCA4). ABCA4 is responsible for the clearance of all-trans-retinal (reactive vitamin A aldehyde) from photoreceptor cells, and loss of ABCA4 function leads to the accumulation of bis-retinoids (such as retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)) in the outer segment membranes of the photoreceptor cells, which in turn causes the formation of lipofuscin. This ultimately leads to accumulation of high levels of lipofuscin in the RPE, increased retinal autofluorescence and progressive RPE and photoreceptor cell loss.

In embodiments, the composition forms a nucleic acid / lipid particle. In embodiments, the one or more lipids associate into a lipid nanoparticle (LNP).

DB1 / 146899640.4 31 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 In embodiments the LNP comprising the one or more nucleic acid-based agents is formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. Methods of formulating suitable pharmaceutical compositions are known in the art, see, e.g., Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st ed., 2005; and the books in the series Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Sciences: a Series of Textbooks and Monographs (Dekker, N.Y.). For example, pharmaceutical compositions suitable for injectable use can include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble) or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. For intravenous administration, suitable carriers include physiological saline, bacteriostatic water, Cremophor EL™ (BASF, Parsippany, N.J.) or phosphate buffered saline (PBS). In all cases, the composition must be sterile and the fluid should be easy to draw up by a syringe. It should be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, polyalcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride in the composition. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by including in the composition an agent that delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin. Sterile injectable solutions can be prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in an appropriate solvent with one or a combination of ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the active compound into a sterile vehicle, which contains a basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and freeze-drying, which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. Therapeutic compounds can be prepared with carriers that will protect the therapeutic compounds against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and DB1 / 146899640.4 32 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as collagen, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides (e.g., poly[1,3-bis(carboxyphenoxy)propane-co-sebacic-acid] (PCPP- SA) matrix, fatty acid dimer-sebacic acid (FAD-SA) copolymer, poly(lactide-co-glycolide)), polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, polyethyleneglycol-coated liposomes, and polylactic acid. Such formulations can be prepared using standard techniques, or obtained commercially, e.g., from Alza Corporation and Nova Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Liposomal suspensions can also be used as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. These can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in U.S. Pat. No.4,522,811. Semisolid, gelling, soft-gel, or other formulations (including controlled release) can be used, e.g., when administration to a surgical site is desired. Methods of making such formulations are known in the art and can include the use of biodegradable, biocompatible polymers. See, e.g., Sawyer et al., Yale J Biol Med. 2006; 79(3-4): 141-152.

In embodiments, the method improves distance visual acuity of the subject. In embodiments, the method provides a lowering of one or more of retinaldehyde, N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E) and iso-A2E relative to a level of one or more of retinaldehyde, A2E and iso-A2E without the administration, optionally greater than about a 40%, or greater than about a 50%, or greater than about a 60%, or greater than about a 70%, or greater than about a 80%, or greater than about a 90% lowering. In embodiments, the method results in improvement of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) to greater than about 20 / 200. In embodiments, the method results in improvement of retinal or foveal morphology, as measured by fundus autofluorescence (FAF) or Spectral Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT). FAF is a non- invasive retinal imaging modality used to provide a density map of lipofuscin in the retinal pigment epithelium. See Madeline et al., Int J Retin Vitr 2, 12 (2016); Sepah et al., Saudi J Ophthalmol.2014;28(2):111–116; Sparrow et al., Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science September 2010; vol.51:4351-4357. SD-OCT is an interferometric technique that provides depth-resolved tissue structure information encoded in the magnitude and delay of the back-scattered light by spectral analysis of the interference fringe pattern. Yaqoob et al., Biotechniques, vol.39, No.6S; published Online:30 May 2018. Other imaging technologies can be used as well, including, e.g., a scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), Fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscopy (FLIO), and two-photon microscopic imaging (TPM). Images (of one or both eyes) acquired using a suitable technology can be analyzed to assess parameters of a patient, including fluorescence intensity. For example, FAF that is characterized by a general increase of autofluorescence intensity is indicative of the Stargardt disease, at early stages of the disease. Burke et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2014; 55: 2841 –2852. In embodiments, the method results in reduction or prevention of one or more of wavy vision, blind spots, blurriness, loss of depth perception, sensitivity to glare, impaired color vision, and difficulty adapting to dim lighting (delayed dark adaptation) in the subject. DB1 / 146899640.4 37 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 In embodiments, the method reduces or prevents lipofuscin accumulation in the retina, optionally in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In embodiments, the method reduces or prevents the formation of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) debris. As mentioned above, accumulation of lipofuscin in the RPE has been associated with the development of STGD, age-related macular degeneration, and other retinal diseases. The clumps of lipofuscin, a yellow substance that forms flecks, accumulate in and around the macula, impairing central vision. A main component of lipofuscin is the bis-retinoid N-retinylidene-N-retinylethanolamine (A2E), though lipofuscin includes other bis-retinoids. A2E is a fluorescent material that accumulates, with age or in some retinal disorders such as STGD, in the lysosomes of RPE of the eye. RPE lipofuscin includes A2E and an additional fluorophore – a double bond isomer of A2E, iso-A2E. Studies on the photochemistry of A2E and iso-A2E indicated that they exist in a photoequilibrium of 44 (A2E):1 (iso-A2E). See Parish et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA.1998;95(25):14609–13. A2E was shown to trigger the accumulation of lipofuscin-like debris in the RPE. Mihai & Washington. Cell Death & Disease 5, e1348(2014). A2E can be responsible for RPE debris found in the human eye, which encompass lipofuscin-like bodies, late-stage lysosomes, abnormal glycogen and lipid deposits, and inclusions that show heterogeneous electron density. Id. A2E thus drives retinal senescence and associated degeneration. A2E’s chemical precursor, vitamin A aldehyde (retinaldehyde), also plays a role in the degenerative process. Lowering levels of one or more of retinaldehyde, A2E, and iso-A2E can treat or mitigate lipofuscin accumulation in the retina, e.g., in the RPE and / or the underlying Bruch’s membrane. In some embodiments, the method reduces or prevents the formation of RPE debris. In some embodiments, the lowering levels of one or more of retinaldehyde, A2E, and iso-A2E can treat or mitigate accumulation of vitamin A dimers in the RPE and Bruch’s membrane (BM). Accordingly, in embodiments, the method provides a lowering of one or more of retinaldehyde, N-retinylidene- N-retinylethanolamine (A2E) and iso-A2E relative to a level of one or more of retinaldehyde, A2E, and iso- A2E without the administration of the present composition. In some embodiments, levels of one or more of retinaldehyde, A2E, and iso-A2E are lowered (relative to a level of one or more of retinaldehyde, A2E, and iso-A2E without the administration of the present composition) by greater than at least about a 40%. In some embodiments, the method provides greater than about a 40%, or greater than about a 50%, or greater than about a 60%, or greater than about a 70%, or greater than about a 80%, or greater than about a 90% lowering.

In embodiments, the targeting element comprises CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat) associated protein 9 (Cas9), or a variant thereof. A CRISPR / Cas9 tool only requires Cas9 nuclease for DNA cleavage and a single-guide RNA (sgRNA) for target specificity. See Jinek et al. (2012) Science 337, 816–821; Chylinski et al. (2014) Nucleic Acids Res 42, 6091–6105. The inactivated form of Cas9, which is a nuclease-deficient (or inactive, or “catalytically dead” Cas9, is typically denoted as “dCas9,” has no substantial nuclease activity. Qi, L. S. et al. (2013). Cell 152, 1173–1183. CRISPR / dCas9 DB1 / 146899640.4 57 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 binds precisely to specific genomic sequences through targeting of guide RNA (gRNA) sequences. See Dominguez et al., Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol.2016;17:5–15; Wang et al., Annu Rev Biochem.2016;85:227–64. dCas9 is utilized to edit gene expression when applied to the transcription binding site of a desired site and / or locus in a genome. When the dCas9 protein is coupled to guide RNA (gRNA) to create dCas9 guide RNA complex, dCas9 prevents the proliferation of repeating codons and DNA sequences that might be harmful to an organism's genome. Essentially, when multiple repeat codons are produced, it elicits a response, or recruits an abundance of dCas9 to combat the overproduction of those codons and results in the shut-down of transcription. Thus, dCas9 works synergistically with gRNA and directly affects the DNA polymerase II from continuing transcription. In embodiments, the targeting element comprises a nuclease-deficient Cas enzyme guide RNA complex. In embodiments, the targeting element comprises a nuclease-deficient (or inactive, or “catalytically dead” Cas, e.g., Cas9, typically denoted as “dCas” or “dCas9”) guide RNA complex. In embodiments, the targeting element comprises a Cas9 enzyme guide RNA complex. In embodiments, the Cas9 enzyme guide RNA complex comprises a nuclease-deficient dCas9 guide RNA complex. Embodiments of the present disclosure make use of the ability of TALE or Cas or dCas9 / gRNA DBDs to target specific sites in a host genome. The DNA targeting ability of a TALE or Cas DBD or dCas9 / gRNA DBD is provided by TALE repeat sequences (e.g., modular arrays) or gRNA which are linked together to recognize flanking DNA sequences. Each TALE or gRNA can recognize certain base pair(s) or residue(s). In embodiments, the GSHS is in an open chromatin location in a chromosome. In embodiments, the GSHS is selected from adeno-associated virus site 1 (AAVS1), chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 5 (CCR5) gene, HIV-1 coreceptor, and human Rosa26 locus. In embodiments, the enzyme and the targeting element are connected. In embodiments, the enzyme and the targeting element are fused to one another or linked via a linker to one another. In embodiments, the linker is a flexible linker. In embodiments, the flexible linker is substantially comprised of glycine and serine residues, optionally wherein the flexible linker comprises (Gly4Ser)n, where n is from about 1 to about 12.

Definitions The following definitions are used in connection with the disclosure disclosed herein. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of skill in the art to which this invention belongs. As used herein, “a,” “an,” or “the” can mean one or more than one. Further, the term “about” when used in connection with a referenced numeric indication means the referenced numeric indication plus or minus up to 10% of that referenced numeric indication. For example, the language “about 50” covers the range of 45 to 55. An “effective amount,” when used in connection with medical uses is an amount that is effective for providing a measurable treatment, prevention, or reduction in the rate of pathogenesis of a disease of interest. DB1 / 146899640.4 62 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 As used herein, the term “variant” encompasses but is not limited to nucleic acids or proteins which comprise a nucleic acid or amino acid sequence which differs from the nucleic acid or amino acid sequence of a reference by way of one or more substitutions, deletions and / or additions at certain positions. The variant may comprise one or more conservative substitutions. Conservative substitutions may involve, e.g., the substitution of similarly charged or uncharged amino acids. As referred to herein, all compositional percentages are by weight of the total composition, unless otherwise specified. As used herein, the word “include,” and its variants, is intended to be non-limiting, such that recitation of items in a list is not to the exclusion of other like items that may also be useful in the compositions and methods of this technology. Similarly, the terms “can” and “may” and their variants are intended to be non-limiting, such that recitation that an embodiment can or may comprise certain elements or features does not exclude other embodiments of the present technology that do not contain those elements or features. Although the open-ended term “comprising,” as a synonym of terms such as including, containing, or having, is used herein to describe and claim the invention, the present invention, or embodiments thereof, may alternatively be described using alternative terms such as “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.” Effective amounts, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to about 50% of the population) and the ED50(the dose therapeutically effective in about 50% of the population). The dosage can vary depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and can be expressed as the ratio LD50 / ED50. In some embodiments, compositions and methods that exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred. A therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially from in vitro assays, including, for example, cell culture assays. Also, a dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC50as determined in cell culture, or in an appropriate animal model. Levels of the described compositions in plasma can be measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography. The effects of any particular dosage can be monitored by a suitable bioassay. The dosage can be determined by a physician and adjusted, as necessary, to suit observed effects of the treatment. As used herein, “methods of treatment” are equally applicable to use of a composition for treating the diseases or disorders described herein and / or compositions for use and / or uses in the manufacture of a medicaments for treating the diseases or disorders described herein.

It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essential molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile- onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with other conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2. In embodiments, the ABCA4 nucleic acid is operably coupled to a promoter that can influence overall expression levels and cell-specificity of the transgenes (e.g. ABCA4 or a functional fragment thereof). In some embodiments, the promoter is a CAG promoter (cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer fused to the chicken β-actin promoter and rabbit beta-Globin splice acceptor) (1732 bp), which expresses in both RPE and photoreceptor levels in vivo and in vitro. In some embodiments, the CAG promoter comprises the following nucleotide sequence.

illustrated by the following non-limiting examples. EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in further detail with reference to examples. These examples are illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. Constructs for ABCA4 nucleic acids delivery ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4 (ABCA4) protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N- retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essential molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile- onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with other conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2. To assess the therapeutic window for SS-OP / ABCA4 DNA delivery, GFP vs. Abca4 were used as cargo within SS-OP LNPs (36.3% SS-OP, 50.7% Cholesterol, 9.8% DOPE, 5% PEG) and the current therapeutic index was evaluated (FIG.1). OCT measurements were taken at day 12 (D12) of the mice injected sub- retinally with the LNPs. Based on the differences in cargo base pair size, the amount of abca4 or GFP was modified to match the same nM of nucleic acid.7 nM was shown to be the therapeutic index for the DNA regardless of the cargo size with an OCT degeneration score lower than 1 on average. The degeneration DB1 / 146899640.4 80 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 score indicated that tolerability is driven by the number of molecules of DNA delivery, regardless of the DNA size or sequence. Plasmid 1 (SG-D2-0034 Cag-hABCA4 (Insulator.Cag.hABCA4-CO.rBG.Insulator)) was used in the SS-OP / ABCA4 DNA delivery. As shown in FIGS.2A-2B, the SS-OP / ABCA4 delivery to photoreceptors (PRs) and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells following subretinal (SR) injection was within current therapeutic index (TI). For 7 nM of DNA (25 ng for GFP and 50 ng for Abca4), 0.01 copies / cell for neural retina and 1 copy / cell for RPE were detected for both Abca4 and GFP. Overall, abca4 DNA delivery was lowered compared to GFP. The disclosed formulations deliver preferentially to the RPE, with lower efficiency in the neural retina. Quantifying DNA delivery and the generated transcript (FIG.2A). As shown in FIG.2B, both Abca4 and GFP have the same level of fold change indicating increased levels of mRNA produced from the DNA. Thus, LNP delivery of Abca4 was productive and led to transcription of mRNA as well. As shown in FIGS.3A-3B, following subretinal (SR) delivery of AAV5 with LNP / mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1), neural retina integration was detected. AAV was used as a tool for DNA delivery and to evaluate mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) integration. Dual subretinal delivery was evaluated into mice staggered by 21 days (AAV followed by LNP with Cre mRNA+mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA (36.3% SS-OP, 50.7% Cholesterol, 9.8% DOPE, 5% PEG)). A widespread expression by the Cre LNP was detected and in the dual injected groups, a large population of cells received dual mRNA leading to dual protein expression (FIG.3A). It was concluded that cells that received Cre mRNA and showed a positive expression, also received mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA given that they were coencapsulated in the same LNP. The copy number per cell via ddPCR of cells in the neural retina (~80% photoreceptors) that express both GFP from AAV and cre / mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) from LNP was assessed (FIG.3B). All doses, with 0.05 ug / ml being the highest show an increase in DNA copy number compared to AAV alone was indicative of integration via mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) (FIG.3B). Increased levels of mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) showed low tolerability, as demonstrated by a decrease in DNA copy number. Example 1: Successful in vivo ABCA4 gene replacement in a mouse model of Stargardt disease using a mammalian transposon system An engineered mammalian transposase was co-encapsulated in a nanoparticle to integrate ABCA4 in the genome (e.g. by using construct (1) and / or (2) as provided elsewhere above herein). DB1 / 146899640.4 81 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 DNA and RNA dosing with 7nM (low dose, LD) nucleic acid and 13nM (high dose, HD) nucleic acid. Transcript production were analyzed in ARPE19, HEK293T cells, and Abca4- / - mice using ABCA4+ fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR), and quantitative reverse transcription (RTqPCR). To assess dosing, tolerability, and delivery in vivo subretinal injections were performed in 24 mice (1uL per eye) in three groups of Abca4- / - mouse eyes: vehicle alone (n=8) and treated groups with LD (n=8) and HD (n=8). The mice were analyzed by serial fundoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT), ecto-5′- nucleotidase (CD73+) / ABCA4+ photoreceptor sorting of dissected neural retina by FACS, histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), ddPCR, and RT-qPCR analyses. FACS analysis identified a single ABCA4+ and dual ABCA4+ / FLAG+ in ARPE19 and HEK293T cell populations. Following confirmation of genomic integration, both treated Abca4- / mouse groups showed ABCA4 expression by FACS (P<0.05) in 10% of all retinal photoreceptors with no difference (P>0.1) in OCT retinal layer measurements between the vehicle alone and treated groups. As shown in FIGS.4A-4B, the delivery of CAG-hABCA4 + Mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA into photoreceptors (PRs) exhibited a good tolerability with a SS-OP LNP (36.3% SS-OP, 50.7% Cholesterol, 9.8% DOPE, 5% PEG)). In particular, minimal to a no degeneration was observed with SS-OP / ABCA4+ Mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) delivery to the retina (FIG.4A). The OCT degeneration score of the ONL was within the tolerable range for LNPs for both doses. Compared to the background (2.7%) both doses of LNP indicated an increase in Abca4 expression of more than 5% (FIG.4B). Plasmid 1 (SG-D2-0034 Cag- hABCA4 (Insulator.Cag.hABCA4-CO.rBG.Insulator)) was used in the SS-OP / ABCA4 and mobile enzyme construct. As shown in FIG.5 SS-OP / ABCA4 and mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) are expressed in mouse photoreceptors (PRs). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays showed that the Abca4 was localized to the outer segments of the photoreceptors which themselves were naturally expressed as a transport protein. The localization showed that the LNP was able to deliver the Abca4 DNA and the DNA was able to be translated into protein that is expressed in the OS of the photoreceptors. Thus, Retinal IHC proved precise restoration of the ABCA4 protein in its natural photoreceptor OS location. ABCA4 ddPCR and RTqPCR confirmed these findings. DB1 / 146899640.4 82 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 The results supported the feasibility and tolerability of subretinal administration of a non-viral, integrative gene therapy to deliver a large gene such as ABCA4 to photoreceptors in a mouse model of STGD1. In a ABCA4 and Rdh8 double knockout mouse model, it was seen that 50 days post injection, the A2 levels dropped to 40% of the vehicle (PBS) injected group (FIG.6). This mouse model was an example of an efficacy model which shows rapid disease progression building up the toxic byproducts shown in Stargardts disease. This reduction was consistent with 100% of transfected cells showing reduction by day 50. Copy number showed that SSOP was delivering successfully to the target tissues within the treated area and when size exclusion was performed showed indications of integration into the cells (FIG.7A). In post-size exclusion, remaining copy number is a result of potential integration events. Both SSOP doses showed dose-dependent expression for retina and RPE / eye cup. SSOP was also shown in a dose dependent nature when injected into the target area with stronger expression in the higher dose (FIG.7B). FIG.8 provides evidence of ABCA4 and mobile element enzyme delivery into NHP PRs using SSOP as ABCA4 co-localized with arrestin-C, a marker for PR cones in the NHP. FIG.8 shows both delivery and expression of the mobile element enzyme cargo into the target cells in an NHP. In vivo tolerability using mRNA-LNPs, DNA-LNPs, co-encapsulated mRNA / DNA-LNPs Utilizing a qualitative ocular coherence tomography (OCT) degeneration scoring system, the thinning of the outer nuclear layer (ONL) was assessed (FIG.9A). Three days post-subretinal (SR) injection ONL thinning did not extend beyond the treated area with LNPs encapsulated with a mRNA, DNA, or mRNA / DNA cargos. OCT degeneration scores showed that the LNP co-encapsulating DNA and RNA cargo was well tolerated (FIG.9B). FIG.9C further shows the ONL with indication of placement of subretinal injection. FIG.9D compares the OCT degeneration score of ONL thinning after treatment with LNP / ABCA4 DNA + mobile element enzyme mRNA at low and high dose. LNP achieves high levels of mRNA expression in the retina at levels required for clinical efficacy in Stargardt disease Fundoscopic images demonstrated successful delivery of LNP with eGFP DNA and NLS-Cre recombinase mRNA into TdTom mice eyes (FIG.10A). Flat mount images revealed LNP eGFP coverage post-SR injection into TdTom mice, with ImageJ used to measure the treated area and determine LNP interaction with tissue (FIG.10B). The entire retina of TdTom mice treated with vehicle alone and three LNP doses containing dual DB1 / 146899640.4 83 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 mRNA and DNA cargos shows a dose-dependent increase in TdTomato signal (FIG.10C). Percentages were corrected for the treated area when measured by flow cytometry based off the flat mount. ABCA4 constructs screened for in vivo targeting demonstrate robust in vitro transcript and protein expression ARPE19 and HEK293T cells were dosed with various full length ABCA4 donor DNA elements to access expression using RT-qPCR after 72 hours incubation (FIG.11A). Flow cytometric quantification of ABCA4 and ABCA4 / Flag dual expression in ARPE19 and HEK-293T cell lines, 72 hours after transfection, demonstrated robust in vitro construct protein expression (FIG.11B). In a ABCA4 and Rdh8 double knockout mouse model, it was seen that A2 levels dropped to 40% of the vehicle (PBS) injected group after treatment of LNP / ABCA4 DNA and mobile element enzyme mRNA at both the low dose and high dose (FIG.12). LNPs co-encapsulating ABCA4 DNA and mobile element enzyme mRNA show excellent delivery, tolerability and expression in neural retina OCT degeneration scores demonstrated that LNPs with mobile element enzyme mRNA and ABCA4 DNA were well tolerated at low and high doses (FIG.13A). ABCA4 transcript was detectable by RTqPCR at both doses in Abca4- / - mice retina (FIG.13B). ABCA4 DNA was successfully delivered to the Abca4- / - mice retina (FIG.13C). Representative pseudocolor flow cytometry plots show the gating strategy (FIG.13D). ABCA4 expression was analyzed as a function of viable Cd73+ PRs from Abca4- / - mice (FIG.13E). These mice were injected SR with a dual cargo LNP (ABCA4 DNA and mobile element enzyme mRNA). The results showed a ~20-35% positive signal in Cd73+ PRs (adjusted for PRs in the treated area), in a dose-dependent manner. IHC shows full length human ABCA4 expression in the photoreceptors in Abca4- / - mice FIG.14 shows a retinal immunohistochemistry (IHC) using antibodies against ABCA4, PNA lectin [(cones and inner (IS) and outer segment (OS)], RPE65 (retinal pigment epithelium), and DAPI (nuclear stain). The boxed area is magnified in the composite image is shown in the last column of images. Furthermore, FIG. 15 demonstrated that LNP / ABCA4 DNA and mobile element enzyme mRNA were expressed in nonhuman primates (NHP) photoreceptors. Without being bound to a particular theory, flat mount and dissection / digestion of the neural retinal provide insight into the total surface area of a 1µL subretinal injection and the percentage of viable Cd73+ photoreceptors expressing the dual mRNA and DNA donor cargos. LNPs co-encapsulating both reporter cargos or a bioengineered transposase mRNA (Myotis lucifugus mobile element enzyme) and DNA donor DB1 / 146899640.4 84 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 with full length (6.8 kb) human ABCA4 were well tolerated in Abca4- / - mice. After treatment with an LNP co- encapsulating mobile element enzyme mRNA and ABCA4 DNA donor, Abca4- / - mice showed ABCA4 protein expression by flow cytometry (p<0.05) in 10% of all retinal photoreceptors with no difference (p>0.1)* in OCT denegation scores (i.e., no difference in OCT retinal layer measurements between the vehicle alone and treated group). Retinal IHC showed precise restoration of the ABCA4 protein in its natural photoreceptor outer segment location. The example shows, inter alia, the feasibility and tolerability of subretinal administration of a non-viral, integrative gene therapy to deliver a large gene such as ABCA4 to photoreceptors in a mouse model of STGD1. Example 2: SSOP Formulation for Helper Lipid Study and PEG Study Helper lipid molar ratio is important for SSOP DOPE formulations to deliver nucleic acids. SSOP DOPE formulation showed higher GFP DNA / mCherry RNA expressions when increasing the DOPE helper lipid molar ratio from 22% up to 38% (FIG.16A – 16C). FIG.16A shows the formulations tested with increasingly higher DOPE helper lipid molar ratio. FIG. 16B shows a series of fluorescent images demonstrating LNP-mediated gene expressions in ARPE-19 cells treated with SSOP DOPE formulation at 1 µg / mL for 48 hours. The NanoFCM analysis showed LNP population (red color) fully loaded with DNA and mRNA with high DOPE formulation (FIG.16C). FIG.17A shows SSOP DOPE PEG lipid formulation designs. FIG.17B shows a bar graph comparing the size (nm) of various SSOP DOPE PEG lipid formulations. FIG.17C shows a bar graph comparing the encapsulation efficiency of various SSOP DOPE PEG lipid formulations. For DNA, CAG-GFP nanoplasmids were used, for mRNA, mCherry mRNA were used. PEG lipid ratio effected LNP delivery of nucleic acids in vitro. SSOP DOPE High Helper (38% or 33%) formulations showed decreasing DNA / RNA expressions when increasing the PEG lipid molar ratio from 2 to 4%. FIG.17D – 17E shows a series of fluorescent images demonstrating LNP-mediated gene expressions in ARPE-19 cells treated SSOP DOPE PEG lipid formulations. SSOP DOPE formulations with higher PEG% 4 or 4.9% did not show robust DNA / mRNA expression, though 4% PEGylated LNP showed slightly better expression than 4.9% PEGylated ones. Balancing the SSOP molar ratio for high helper is important for gene delivery. SSOP DOPE formulations with high helper (38% DOPE) showed higher GFP DNA / mCherry mRNA expressions when increasing the SSOP molar ratio from 20% to 30%. FIG.18A shows SSOP DOPE formulations with high helper (38% DOPE). FIG. DB1 / 146899640.4 85 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 18B shows a series of fluorescent images demonstrating LNP-mediated gene expressions in ARPE-19 cells treated with SSOP DOPE formulations with high helper (38% DOPE) formulations at 1 µg / mL for 48 hours. Engineering the PEG molar ratio was important for LNP stability and delivery efficiency. SSOP DOPE formulations with balanced SSOP and high DOPE maintained stable GFP DNA / mCherry mRNA expressions with minimum effect on PEG molar ratio changes from 2 to 4%. FIG.19A shows SSOP DOPE PEG formulations. FIG.19B shows a series of fluorescent images demonstrating LNP-mediated gene expressions in ARPE-19 cells treated with SSOP DOPE PEG formulations at 1 µg / mL for 48 hours. SSOP High Helper formulation (KM E148 F2) showed much higher GFP DNA expressions in vitro compared to the other formulations (IRD-062 F1 and F2) (FIG.20). IRD-062 F1 represents CAG-GFP DNA + mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) 34 mRNA. IRD-062 F1 represents CAG-GFP DNA + mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) Opt26 mRNA, KM E148 F2 represents CAG-GFP DNA + mCherry mRNA. The SSOP high helper formulation was also used for Abca4 DNA and mobile element enzyme (SEQ ID NO: 1) mRNA dual cargo delivery. SSOP DOPE high helper formulation showed the highest gene expression in malate buffer (high salt) compared to acetate buffer. SSOP high helper formulation with 2.5% PEG and 2:1 FRR in Malate buffer in the presence of 30 mM NaCl showed the highest level of expressions for both GFP and Abca4 DNA in vitro (FIG.21A). FIG.21B shows a series of fluorescent images demonstrating LNP- mediated gene expressions of SSOP high helper formulations in sodium malate and sodium acetate. Lipofectamine was used as the positive control for GFP DNA transfection and expression. FIG.21C shows a bar graph comparing ABCA4 expression in ARPE-19 cells after dosing of various SSOP high helper formulation LNPs at 1 µg / mL for 48 h (12-well plate), total dosage of 1.6 ug NAs. SSOP DOPE high helper formulation demonstrated much higher Abca4 DNA delivery and expression in vitro compared to a reference formulation (FIG.22A – 22B). FIG.22A shows SSOP DOPE high helper formulation and comparative formulation. FIG.22B shows a bar graph comparing ABCA4 expression in ARPE-19 cells after dosing of SSOP DOPE high helper formulation LNP and a reference formulation LNP. FIG.22C shows a graph comparing size of SSOP DOPE high helper formulation LNP and a reference formulation LNP. FIG. 22D shows a graph comparing zeta potential of SSOP DOPE high helper formulation LNP and a reference formulation LNP. The engineered high helper formulation encapsulating gene of interest, GFP DNA, with transposase mRNA were prepared using different acidification buffers at different pH levels. The formulation treated APRE-19 cells were analyzed using Flow Cytometry. Without being bound to a particular theory, all the LNP DB1 / 146899640.4 86 SAL-043PC / 126933-5043 formulations treated cells have better viability and more GFP positive cells than the Lipofectamine transfected group (FIG.23A – 23C). Formulation F1 showed the highest GFP median fluorescence intensity (MFI). Formulations F1 – F6 are shown in Table 6 shown below (FIG.23A – 23C). TABLE 6: Exemplary SSOP DOPE Formulations Formulation SSOP % Cholesterol % DOPE % PEG % Materials and Methods The nucleic acids were prepared in 20 mM sodium malate buffer with 30 mM sodium chloride at pH range from 3 to 4. The lipid formulation has a molar ratio of 25:34.5:38:2.5 (SSOP:cholesterol:DOPE:PEG lipid). The SSOP to nucleic acids weight ratio is between 12:1 to 13:1. The volume ratio of nucleic acids to lipids when pumping to mix was 2:1. The formulations after mixing were dialyzed against phosphate buffer saline (PBS), pH 7.4 at volumes of 300 times of the formulation volume using a Floate-A-Lyzer dialysis device (Spectrum Labs) with a molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) of 300 kDa. The first dialysis was conducted at room temperature for 2 hours and then the formulations were dialyzed in fresh PBS overnight at 4°C. The formulations were collected after dialysis and centrifuged at 3000 g using a Amicon Ultra Centrifugal Filter (100 kDa MWCO) for concentration. Formulations were finally filtered through 0.22 µm membrane for sterilization.
