I disagree that it's "gene therapy" to affect the natural regulation of mRNA production. If that were true then the term "gene therapy" loses its meaning, as just about everything changes the expression of mRNA. You can probably do so somewhere just by thinking really hard about it.

Expressing mRNA that doesn't exist in the genome, that would be gene therapy. Or just a virus.
