The emergence of the novel human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which has markedly affected global health and the economy. Both uncontrolled viral replication and a proinflammatory cytokine storm can cause severe tissue damage in patients with COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 utilizes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as its entry receptor. In this study, we generated ACE2 extracellular domain-Fc and single-chain variable fragment-interleukin 6 (IL-6) single-chain variable fragment against IL-6 receptor (scFv-IL6R)-Fc fusion proteins to differentially neutralize viruses and ameliorate the cytokine storm. The human ACE2 (hACE2)(1-740)-Fc fusion protein showed a potent inhibitory effect on pseudo-typed SARS-CoV-2 entry and a good safety profile in mice. In addition, scFv-IL6R-Fc strongly blocked IL-6 signal activation. We also established a mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based hACE2(1-740)-Fc and scFv-IL6R-Fc delivery system, which could serve as a potential therapy strategy for urgent clinical needs of patients with COVID-19.
