In contrast to most mammals, hibernating bears demonstrate limited loss of muscle mass and protein content over the prolonged periods of immobility and fasting during winter. This suggests that bears have natural adaptive mechanisms preserving muscle mass and functionality. To identify transcriptional changes that underlie molecular mechanisms attenuating muscle loss, we conducted a large\u2010scale gene expression profiling (14,199 genes) by transcriptome sequencing in the quadriceps femoris of adult black bears, comparing hibernating animals (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20095) and summer active animals (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20095). Gene set enrichment analysis showed a significant positive correlation between the hibernating phenotype and expression changes of genes involved in translation, ribosome, and the mTORC1\u2010mediated signaling. In contrast, coordinated transcriptional reduction was detected for genes involved in the catabolism of branched chain amino acid (BCAA) suggesting preservation of BCAA. These findings imply maintenance of protein biosynthesis through the mTORC1 signaling positively activated by the availability of BCAA in muscle during hibernation. Support for this conclusion comes from the overexpression of\n                    <jats:italic>RRAGD<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>RRAGB<\/jats:italic>\n                    , crucial regulators of the mTORC1 response to leucine availability, and upregulation of\n                    <jats:italic>EIF4B<\/jats:italic>\n                    , a downstream target of the mTORC1 signaling. Consistent with the mTORC1 suppression of autophagy\u2010dependent protein degradation,\n                    <jats:italic>MAP1LC3A<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>ULK1<\/jats:italic>\n                    were downregulated in hibernating muscle. The maintenance of protein biosynthesis and decrease in protein catabolism through the mTORC1 signaling as a response to BCAA availability likely contribute to the preservation of muscle protein through prolonged periods of immobility and fasting during hibernation.\n
