Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) can cause lethal pulmonary damage in humans. It contains spike proteins on its envelope that bind to human angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) expressed on airway cells, enabling entry of the virus, and causing infection. The soluble form of hACE2 binds SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein, prevents viral entry into target cells, and ameliorates lung injury; however, its short half‐life limits therapeutic utilities. Here, synthetic mRNA is engineered to encode a soluble form of hACE2 (hsACE2) to prevent viral infection. A novel lipid nanoparticle (LNP) is used for packaging and delivering mRNA to cells to produce hsACE2 proteins. Intravenously administered LNP delivers mRNA to hepatocytes, leading to the production of circulatory hsACE2 initiated within 2 h and sustained over several days. Inhaled LNP results in lung transfection and secretion of mucosal hsACE2 to lung epithelia, the primary site of entry and pathogenesis for SARS‐CoV‐2. Furthermore, mRNA‐generated hsACE2 binds to the receptor‐binding domain of the viral spike protein. Finally, hsACE2 effectively inhibits SARS‐CoV‐2 and its pseudoviruses from infecting host cells. The proof of principle study shows that mRNA‐based nanotherapeutics can be potentially deployed to neutralize SARS‐CoV‐2 and open new treatment opportunities for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). A mRNA encoding human soluble angiotensin‐converting enzyme 2 (hsACE2) could be a therapeutic option to treat SARS‐CoV‐2 infection by inhibiting the virus entry. Lipid nanoparticles enable a rapid generation of circulating and mucosal hsACE2 protein by delivering the mRNA to the liver and lungs.
