BMI, fasting insulin (FINS), and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and total testosterone (TT) were significantly changed in both groups, while interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8 and C-reactive protein were changed significantly only in the AN group.

The demonstration of a pathogenic role for p38 activation may lead to the development of therapeutic strategies for BSS and related conditions, such as acanthosis nigricans or craniosynostosis.

The higher levels of pigment epithelium-derived factor in those with acanthosis nigricans compared with those without, with similar levels of resistance, suggest that pigment epithelium-derived factor levels are associated with acanthosis nigricans.

A female presenting at age 11 years with acanthosis nigricans and extreme postprandial hyperinsulinemia was heterozygous for a premature stop mutation (R363X) in TBC1D4.
The group with AN (n = 30) had higher values for percent overweight, BMI, waist circumference, fasting insulin, HOMA-R, leptin and PAI-1 than the AN-negative group (n = 40), but there were no significant differences in age, sex or percent body fat between the two groups.
Two other FGFRs, FGFR1 and FGFR3, also account for craniosynostoses of variable severity [Pfeiffer, Crouzon with acanthosis nigricans (a pre-malignant skin disorder), and Muenke syndromes].
However, more direct evidence for abnormal tyrosine kinase receptor signalling in AN has been provided by studies of craniosynostosis and skeletal dysplasia syndromes with AN, which have identified activating mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptors.
The mechanism of AN due to insulin resistance is most probably direct or indirect activation of the insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor by high levels of circulating insulin.
For our patients, clinical features are most helpful in differentiating NIDDM-Y from IDDM and include ethnic background, age and gender at diagnosis (approximately 80% of First Nation patients from northern Manitoba are adolescent females), presence of obesity and acanthosis nigricans, lack of symptoms or weight loss, and strong family history of NIDDM.
With regard to keratin 6 mRNA, and the protein expression of keratin 6/16, KI-67, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, the AN lesion showed moderate hyperproliferation.
