CD38 is a multifunctional enzyme with NAD+ nucleosidase activity. Our previous work revealed the CD38-dependent interactions of isoniazid (INH), an antituberculosis drug, with NAD+ to form INH-NAD adduct. In the current work, our metabolomic analysis discovered a novel NAD+ adduct with acetylisoniazid (AcINH), a primary INH metabolite mediated by N-acetyltransferase (NAT), and we named it AcINH-NAD. Using Nat1/2(−/−) and Cd38(−/−) mice, we determined that AcINH-NAD formation is dependent on both NAT and CD38. Because NAT is expressed in hepatocytes (HP), whereas CD38 is expressed in Kupffer cells (KC) and hepatic stellate cells (HSC), we explored cell type–specific roles of CD38 in the formation of AcINH-NAD as well as INH-NAD. We found that both INH-NAD and AcINH-NAD were produced in the incubation of INH or AcINH with KC and HSC but not in HP. These data suggest that hepatic nonparenchymal cells, such as KC and HSC, are the major cell types responsible for the CD38-dependent interactions of INH with NAD+ in the liver.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT The current study identified AcINH-NAD as a novel metabolite of INH in the liver. Our work also revealed the essential roles of nonparenchymal cells, including Kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells, in the CD38-dependent interactions of NAD+ with INH, leading to the formation of both INH-NAD and AcINH-NAD in the liver. These data can be used to guide the future studies on the mechanisms of INH and NAD+ interactions and their contributions to INH-induced liver injury.
