All publications, patents and patent applications cited herein, whether supra or infra, are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. Such incorporation by reference is not intended to be an admission that any of the incorporated publications, patents and patent applications cited herein constitute prior art. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the content clearly dictates otherwise. For example, reference to "a molecule" includes a mixture of two or more such molecules or a plurality of such molecules, and the like. As used herein, the term “comprise” or variations thereof such as “comprises” or “comprising” are to be read to indicate the inclusion of any recited integer (e.g. a feature, element, characteristic, property, method / process step or limitation) or group of integers (e.g. features, elements, characteristics, properties, method / process steps or limitations) but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers. Thus, as used herein, the term “comprising” is inclusive and does not exclude additional, unrecited integers or method / process steps. In embodiments of any of the compositions and methods provided herein, “comprising” may be replaced with “consisting essentially of” or “consisting of”. The phrase “consisting essentially of” is used herein to require the specified integer(s) or steps as well as those which do not materially affect the character or function of the claimed invention.

Subcutaneous delivery of therapeutic transgenes enables simple accessibility from an initial route of administration perspective. The subcutis is also the main route of administration for an overwhelming majority of current recombinant protein therapies. As a tissue, the subcutis is sufficiently well vascularized to enable biodistribution of proteins delivered to, produced, and secreted in that locale, enabling systemic therapy from local protein production. Finally, adipocytes, the most prevalent resident cell of the subcutis are locally a non-life- / non-function-sustaining cell type and can enable the reduction in the dose of the gene therapy via various methods including cryolipolysis, suicide gene activation, or simple liposuction. However, the subcutaneously delivered gene therapy treatment is not visible from the surface of the skin, and generally even invasive imaging methods will not be able to pinpoint the locale of the initially delivered gene therapy. The current invention discloses elements of a gene therapy system that when delivered in tandem or co-formulated with said system can enable identification, localization, quantification, evaluation, or targeting for up- and / or down-titration of the gene therapy. Gene therapy has traditionally been delivered directly to the tissue that is missing a functional gene or via intravenous administration. As the safety profile of gene therapy treatments has improved, several attempts have been made to turn the liver or muscle into protein producing factories to augment the expression of missing factors that are normally present in circulation. While some attempts have been relatively successful the challenge with these approaches includes the turnover of the tissue in the liver, potentially requiring integrating constructs, as well as the life / function- sustaining nature of resident cells of the liver and muscle (mainly hepatocytes and myocytes), which are targeted by the gene replacement therapies. Subcutaneous delivery of therapeutic transgenes enables simple accessibility from an initial route of administration perspective. The subcutis is also the main route of administration for an overwhelming majority of current recombinant protein therapies. As a tissue, the subcutis is sufficiently well vascularized to enable biodistribution of proteins delivered to, produced, and secreted in that locale, enabling systemic therapy from local protein production. Finally, adipocytes, the most prevalent resident cells of the subcutis, are locally a non-life- / non-function- sustaining cell type and can enable the reduction in the dose of the gene therapy via various methods including cryolipolysis, suicide gene activation, or simple liposuction. At the same time, adipocytes are naturally a secretory cell, producing several proteins that have been suggested to have significant therapeutic potential including FGF21 and Apelin. As such, adipocytes and the subcutis appear to be a promising new tissue to be targeted by gene therapy. However, the subcutaneously delivered gene therapy treatment is not visible from the surface of the skin, and generally even invasive imaging methods will not be able to pinpoint the locale of the initially delivered gene therapy. Visualization of the originally administered dose can help to target it for down-titration via for example cryolipolysis, or via chemically mediated induction of adipocyte apoptosis. Moreover, non-invasive visualization of the original gene therapy treatment can enable the selection of an alternative location for subsequent up-titration. The current invention discloses elements of a gene therapy system that when delivered in tandem or co-formulated with said system can enable identification, localization, quantification, evaluation, or targeting for up- and / or down-titration of the gene therapy. The present invention generally discloses a system that is intended for the treatment of disease and is delivered subcutaneously. Said system is comprised of nucleic acids and most preferably DNA with or without one or more carriers or vectors, in a therapeutic formulation intended to treat human or veterinary pathology. The subcutaneously administered nature of the system allows it to be comprised at least in part of elements that enable downstream localization, positioning, identification, storage of data or information, or analysis for subsequent use or multiple uses. In some specific embodiments the system is a subcutaneously administered gene therapy that contains elements of one or more markers that enable the translation of information to other elements of the system that are used to assess, read, measure, identify, or locate said elements in the future, if and when required. Such second elements, which enable the localization, reading, understanding, identification, positioning, finding, or measuring of the system are generally also part of the overall gene therapy system, but are applied post-treatment to, for example, identify the original dosing site, identify the genetic cargo, measure the level of transgene expression, assess the biodistribution of the original gene therapy treatment, evaluate the required level of up- or down-titration, assess safety or efficacy of the treatment, plan future treatment protocols and paradigms, or simply locate the original site of injection for subsequent removal of the original gene therapy, dose adjustment of the original gene therapy, or re-dosing of the same or another gene therapy at an alternative site. In one general embodiment of the present invention, a system is comprised of a gene therapy treatment intended for subcutaneous administration and contains elements that enable delivery of the transgene using physical, chemical, or biological means, such as for example viral or non-viral delivery vectors, and said system is comprised of one or more elements that enable the system to be redosable following initial administration and enables predictable up- titration of gene expression, optionally includes one or more elements that enable a means of down-titration to predictably reduce or optionally shut off the transgene expression, is optionally co- formulated with elements or co-delivered with elements at the time of treatment that can serve as localization markers to enable post- treatment identification, localization, quantification, evaluation, or targeting for up- and / or down-titration. In yet other embodiments the aforementioned optional elements are included in the system as critical system components to enable holistic functionality as a subcutaneously administrable gene therapy platform, with dose adjustability and markers that enable the localization of the system, its location, or evaluation following initial administration. The system may be used to deliver therapeutic transgenes, coding genes, non-coding genes, DNA, RNA, or other cargo that enables durable gene expression, durable adjustments in the level of gene expression, or other durable therapy. Said gene therapy or more specifically its cargo can be delivered using a variety of physical, chemical, or biological means. Some examples of physical delivery means including one or more of electrical force, magnetic force, metallic or non-metallic particles accelerated and traveling at a cell membrane-penetrating velocity, physical force, or ultrasound. Some examples of chemical delivery means include an organic, inorganic, or metalloorganic molecule which can act as a surfactant, cell penetrating agent, amphiphile, or a positively charged moiety to enable transport of genetic cargo to cells and to cellular nuclei. Chemical delivery can include liposomes, lipid nanoparticles, exosomes, virus like-particles, or solid lipid nanoparticles, which may optionally be assisted by physical means of delivery. Some examples of biological delivery include viral vectors, recombinant viral vectors, or modified viral vectors which may be one or more of DNA, RNA, double stranded DNA (dsDNA), single stranded DNA (ssDNA), double stranded RNA (dsRNA), single stranded RNA (ssRNA), DNA- RNA hybrids, or a viral vector carrying a synthetic cargo or modified externally with synthetic or biological molecules. Physical, chemical, and biological means of delivery may be optionally combined to assist transfection or transduction efficiency, as an example lipid nanoparticles can be conjugated with monoclonal antibodies to enhance specificity or transfection efficiency, viral particles can be encapsulated in non-antigenic synthetic shells, and either viral or non-viral particles may be assisted by physical forces during the process of delivery. Some specific viral vectors, which can be used to mediate delivery of the therapeutic cargo include adeno-associated viral vectors, adenoviral vectors, lentiviral vectors, retroviral vectors, herpes simplex virus (HSV), or a viral vector derived from a human, mammalian, or eukaryotic viral pathogen. Optionally pseudotyped or recombinant viruses can be used to deliver therapeutic cargo and said viral vectors may be additionally chemically or biologically modified to enhance tropism, specificity, safety, antigenicity, immunogenicity, or other physical, chemical or biological properties. In some specific embodiments of the present invention the viral vector used for delivering therapeutic cargo such as therapeutic transgenes may be genetically, structurally, chemically or functionally modified, or optionally encapsulated, coated, or encapsidated into higher order structures such as membranes, shells, vesicles, particles, or capsules. In yet other specific embodiments, the viral vector used for delivering therapeutic cargo such as therapeutic transgenes, which is comprised at least in part of at least one known virus and at least one other element such as a targeting moiety, coating, formulation excipient, surfactant, lipid shell, or combination thereof. Non-viral vectors may be used as part of the present invention to deliver therapeutic cargo such as transgenes for durable therapeutic transgene expression and enable redosing due to their potential non- antigenicity. Some specific non-viral vectors that can be used for this purpose include lipid nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, metallic particles, composite particles, extracellular vesicles, exosomes, or virus-like particles. Said non-viral vectors may be composed into higher order formulations to enhance stability, delivery, injectability or other physical or chemical properties and may be optionally conjugated with targeting moieties, molecules that enhance residence time, molecules that enhance stealthiness, molecules that reduce immunogenicity, molecules that reduce antigenicity, or molecules that otherwise modify chemical, physical, or biological properties of the particle or particle formulation. Similarly, virus-like particles, produced using synthetic, semi- synthetic, or recombinant methods can be used to deliver therapeutic cargo for durable therapy. Said virus-like particles can be optionally conjugated with targeting moieties, or molecules that otherwise modify the physical, chemical, or biological properties of the virus-like particle. An important element of the present invention is the non-antigenic shell or exterior of the delivery system, which under standard treatment conditions does not elicit a sufficient immune memory response to prevent subsequent redosing or up-titration of the therapy. Such an element may be generally a formulation that does not elicit a neutralizing antibody response, a formulation that locally suppresses the immune response to enable the treatment without eliciting of a neutralizing antibody response, a non-antigenic shell, capsule, capsid, envelope, membrane, monolayer, set of molecules, or coating of the vector or genetic cargo, or other element that enables hypoimmune characteristics of the vector and / or genetic cargo. Another important functional element of the system is the feature that enables down-titration or dose reduction, following initial administration. Such an element may be a genetic cassette delivered in cis, in trans, or encoded proximally to the therapeutic transgene that enables one or more of apoptosis of the carrier cell, a suppression of protein translation, a suppression of gene expression, epigenetic self- silencing, nuclease-mediated self-inactivation, or general shut-down of gene expression reducing the level of transgene expression from the therapeutic cassette. In another embodiment such an element is a feature that enables down-titration by first promoting selective targeting of the therapeutic or genetic cargo to subcutaneous adipocytes, or substantial residence in the adipose tissue following initial administration, that eventually enables elimination or reduction of gene expression via elimination or reduction of adipocytes by cryolipolysis, ultrasound lipolysis, liposuction, chemical induction of adipocyte apoptosis, or pharmacological induction of adipocyte apoptosis. In yet other embodiments an element that enables down-titration or dose reduction may be comprised at least in part from a responsive or inducible promoter or at least in part of a protein expressed from the delivered genetic cassette, that enables a transient or permanent reduction in the level of gene expression following stimulation by at least one internal or external stimulus. Some examples include the tetracycline-inducible promoter, or the doxycycline-inducible promoter, or a DNA-binding repressor protein, or an RNA expressed following activation that reduces the level of gene expression. Said down-titration is ideally permanent and predictable, but may be transient in nature, such that the level of expression recovers following the removal of the stimulus. The therapeutic formulation described in the present invention is intended to deliver durable therapy, which has an adjustable level of therapeutic effect. Such durable therapy may be optionally achieved using non-integrating DNA cassettes, or optionally integrating DNA cassettes or transposable or retrotransposable elements. Said elements may contain one or more therapeutic genes, which may be coding or non- coding genes that express one or more proteins or one or more RNAs. Such therapeutic genes may be comprised of one or more genes that encode at least one human or mammalian protein or peptide. In another embodiment, the protein or peptide is secreted to enable production in adipocytes and secretion into the general circulation. Some such proteins may include one or more antibodies, fusion proteins, peptides, or combinations thereof. A central element of the present invention is a co-formulated element or a marker, indicator, or locator, that is comprised of at least a part of some physical, chemical, or biological component and allows for the localization, identification, obtainment of information from, or positioning of the subcutaneously administered treatment for some subsequent action upon that treatment or related to the treatment. In some embodiments such an element may be a marker for identification of the location of the original treatment, in other embodiments the indicator may serve as a means of providing information about the treatment such as its activity, in other embodiment the co-formulated element may be only visualized or apparent following application of one or more stimuli and may be used for location, identification, quantification, collection of information from, or a combination of one or more actions upon or related to the original treatment.

EXAMPLES Example 1 In the present example, a gene therapy treatment for type 2 diabetes and obesity is administered using a lipid nanoparticle vector. The vector contains a DNA cassette optimized to remove TLR-reactive sequences and intracellular DNA sensors, include nuclear targeting sequences, and encodes a natural human GLP-1 sequence modified for enhanced resistance to peptidase digestion. The GLP-1 is expressed under the regulation of the CAG promoter, specifically containing (C) the cytomegalovirus (CMV) early enhancer element, (A) the promoter, the first exon and the first intron of chicken beta-actin gene, and (G) the splice acceptor of the rabbit beta-globin gene. The genetic cassette additionally encodes a low-leak tetracycline inducible promoter, which drives the expression of a humanized recombinant green fluorescent protein derived from Renilla reniformis. Following initial treatment, upon the desire to evaluate the number of genetic cassettes using bioluminescence as a surrogate indicator the quantity of expressed luciferase is measured by first inducing expression with a fixed dose of oral tetracycline, followed by the irradiation of the abdomen with a device emitting a narrow band path filtered flood light with a peak emission of 500 nm, which is coupled with a detector with narrow bandpass filter of max transmittance at 506 nm. An optional measurement is performed 1 day, 7 days, 30 days and 60 days post initial dosing and followed up with additional quantifications as required for the optimization of the safety or efficacy of the treatment. Should redosing be required, the identification of the reporter gene position can enable the selection of a second subcutaneous dose treatment site at a distance greater than 1.0 cm from the original location. Should the reduction in the therapeutic transgene expression be required, the administration of a down-titration mechanisms such as cryolipolysis can be performed to the site of the original injection as identified by the expressed marker.

At the time of treatment, a machine-readable fluorescein tattoo is applied at the injection site to encode the therapeutic target (IL-1Ra), dose, and treatment date. The center of the machine-readable image forms the center of the site of injection. At the time of required up-titration, the approximate injection area is illuminated with a 490-495 nm UV lamp to locate the original injection site and verify the treatment and dose. The information is used to identify an alternative location for a subsequent injection and assess the required dose based on the safety and efficacy profile of the original treatment. At the time of required down-titration, the approximate injection area is illuminated with a 490-495 nm UV lamp to locate the original injection site and verify the treatment and dose. The information is used to target the down-titration treatment, which is a subcutaneous injection of a lipolytic agent. Upon verification of the elimination of the required therapy via verification of therapeutic transgene expression using serological biomarkers, the machine-readable fluorescein tattoo is removed via the application of 1064 and 532 nm lasers, followed by verification of removal using a 490-495 nm UV light source.

The treatment is administered subcutaneously and delivers the therapeutic transgene under the regulation of a constitutive promoter, as well as a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent protein derived from the cyanobacteriochrome photoreceptor NpR3784 (miRFP670nano). Following treatment, oral tetracycline can be used to induce expression of the near-infrared fluorescent protein and an NIR camera can be used to detect the location of the original site of administration and strength of gene expression. As the reporter remains as an intracellular protein and is expressed from the same genetic cassette, the signal strength can be used as a surrogate measure of the total genome copies of the therapeutic construct present in the treatment area. Such quantification can be performed at various timepoints to assess the level of gene expression and drive further treatment decisions. The NIR signal can be additionally used to localize the original site of injection for subsequent down-titration for example by cryolipolysis. Cryolipolytic treatment can be applied overtop of the NIR signal and optionally to areas immediately adjacent to the NIR signal. Similarly, the signal location can be also used to select alternative sites for subsequent gene therapy administration, or re- dosing to up-titrate the initial dose should additional therapeutic efficacy be required for a particular patient.

The genetic cassette additionally encodes a TRE promoter, that conditionally drives expression of an inducible suicide gene (iCasp9) following administration of tetracycline. The FGF21 therapeutic transgene is driven by the UBC promoter and followed by the rBG polyA signal. At the time of treatment an RFID chip is implanted subcutaneously at the site of treatment, but sufficiently superficially to be palpable through the dermis and epidermis. At the time of treatment the RFID chip is populated with the following information: treatment type, therapeutic transgene type, administered dose in terms of total genome copies delivered, total injection volume, date of treatment, name or number of treating physician, condition undergoing treatment, and additional alphanumeric variable data of the physician’s choice. At time of required dose adjustment, or at time of therapy review, the above information is scanned into an RFID reader to enable analysis or further treatment decisions. Should up- or down-titration of the therapeutic dose be required, the RFID is used to locate the original site of injection using palpation or proximity sensing devices.

The triple agonist is expressed under the regulation of a constitutive CMV promoter. The vector predominantly targets subcutaneous adipocytes and is injected into a specific locale subcutaneously into the abdomen lateral of the navel at a distance of approximately 3.0 cm. Prior to the injection of the therapy, a permanent tattoo is applied immediately to the right of the planned injection site (at a distance of 2-3mm away from the planned injection site). Following administration, medical records are updated indicating the location of the subcutaneous injection and position of the permanent tattoo in the form of a 0.5-1mm radius circle. If treatment cessation is desired, via for example ultrasound lipolysis, the lipolytic stimulus is applied to the site of injection and the permanent tattoo is used as a positioning guide. Similarly, should additional up-titration be required to augment the effect of the original treatment the tattoo can serve as a positioning guide enabling the application of a follow-up treatment at a different injection site. Should the treatment be stopped via for example application of ultrasound lipolysis and verification of the elimination of the therapeutic transgene from circulation (via serological biomarker analysis), the tattoo can be optionally removed using a tattoo removal laser.

Following administration, the tattoo or mark remains visible at the site of injection allowing for dose adjustment to be performed locally at the site of injection. Such dose adjustment can be performed via pharmacological means, cryolipolysis, or ultrasound lipolysis. In addition, other means of evaluating the treatment such as injection site reaction scores, durability of expression, level of expression or other factors can be subsequently assessed at the time of injection. An illustration can be found in Figure 1. Example 7 A tattoo is administered to two subcutaneous injection sites on the left and right flank immediately prior to treatment or soon after initial treatment to create a permanent or semi permanent mark at the site of treatment administration. Said mark is subsequently used as a localizing element for the initial treatment to potentiate treatment of other areas, perform local dose adjustments, or evaluate the potency or durability of the initial signal. Dose adjustment is performed following treatment to reduce the level of gene expression using cryolipolysis, ultrasound lipolysis, or pharmacological dose adjustment via the administration of rapamycin locally at the site of injection in a 1mL injection. The marking remains following down-titration and can be used for any subsequent post treatment evaluation. An illustration can be found in Figure 2. Example 8 Markings were added to the site of injection immediately prior to treatment. The marking was used to locate the signal for subsequent quantification of gene expression using a reporter gene co-expressed with a therapeutic transgene. The expression was demonstrated to be correlated and both expression levels appeared to have a clear dose response curve. The reporter gene expression, which is quantified by a CCD camera is used to track the level of expression over time and ensure that the therapeutic benefit is afforded by the treatment in a minimally invasive manner. The CCD camera detects bioluminescent or fluorescent signals emitted from live tissue following substrate administration (luciferin or fluorofurimazine as an example). A CCD camera sensitive to low photone counts in the range of 1e5 to 1e10 photons per second is used to capture emitted light, allowing the analyst to non-invasively monitor transgene expression delivered by the system. An illustration can be found in Figure 3. Example 9: Subcutaneous Administration of GLP-1 Gene Therapy with Fluorescent Ink Marking and Cryolipolysis Down-Titration A patient is administered a subcutaneous injection of a non-viral gene therapy vector encoding the GLP-1 polypeptide. At the time of administration, the injection site is optionally marked with a biocompatible fluorescent ink. The marking is used as a spatial reference for follow-up treatment. At a subsequent time point, the marked area is visualized under appropriate light conditions and subjected to localized cryolipolysis to induce apoptosis in adipocytes at the injection site. This targeted depletion of transgene-expressing cells serves to reduce or eliminate expression of the GLP-1 transgene, thereby providing a means to down-titrate the therapeutic effect as clinically warranted. Example 10: Subcutaneous FGF21 Gene Therapy with Invisible Ink Marking and Bioluminescence Imaging of Reporter Expression A subcutaneous injection of a gene therapy vector encoding FGF21 is administered to a patient. The vector includes a co-expressed bioluminescent reporter gene, such as nanoluciferase. The injection site is optionally marked using an invisible ink that fluoresces under ultraviolet (UV) light, allowing for anatomical localization without visible marking in ambient conditions. At follow-up time points, bioluminescence imaging is performed using a CCD-based in vivo imaging system to non-invasively detect signal intensity from the reporter gene. This approach enables real-time monitoring of transgene expression dynamics. The invisible ink allows for consistent, site-specific imaging and optional delivery of follow-up treatments if necessary. Example 11: Subcutaneous Gene Therapy with Tattoo-Based Marking and Fluorescence-Based Expression Tracking A subcutaneous gene therapy is administered to a patient, encoding a GLP-1 / GIP dual agonist, optionally with a fluorescent reporter gene such as mCherry. The injection site is marked with a small, permanent tattoo to enable long-term anatomical reference. The tattoo marking facilitates clinical assessments of injection site reactions including erythema, edema, and lipodystrophy. In follow-up visits, the level of transgene expression is assessed using a fluorescence-based in vivo imaging system to detect the co-expressed reporter signal. This information is used to monitor persistence and spatial distribution of transgene expression over time and guide further clinical decision-making, including potential re-administration or targeted down-regulation interventions.
