Schematic drawing of cellular regulation of extracellular glutamate concentrations ([Glu]ec) in the presence of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6. Possible pathophysiology underlying mental fatigue at the cellular level is outlined below. TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 attenuate astroglial glutamate uptake transport and disintegrate the BBB, allowing glutamate from the blood to enter the brain. The overall result is slightly increased [Glu]ec. Tumor necrosis factor-alfa also decreases oligodendroglial cell glutamate uptake [78], while microglial glutamate uptake has been demonstrated to increase (Persson, M., Hansson, E., and Rönnbäck, L, to be published), though not to levels to compensate for the decreased astroglial glutamate uptake capacity. Due to increased [Glu]ec, astroglial swelling is shown. Below: Hypothetic cellular events underlying mental fatigue. Slightly increased [Glu]ec could make the glutamate neurotransmission less distinct (decrease the signal-to-noise ratio). At the cellular level, there would be astroglial swelling, which in turn would decrease the local extracellular (ec) volume and, as a consequence, lead to further increased [Glu]ec. Astroglial swelling also depolarizes the astroglial cell membrane, which further attenuates the electrogenic glutamate uptake and, in addition, the astroglial K+ uptake capacity. As a consequence, even [K+]ec may rise. The increased [K+]ec, together with decreased glutamine production and reduced glucose uptake concomitant with the decreased glutamate uptake, could lead to decreased presynaptic glutamate release and thereby decreased glutamate transmission, which, according to our hypothesis, is one cellular correlate to mental fatigue/exhaustion.
