Axl is a TAM receptor that can inhibit Toll-like receptor (TLR) -induced pro-inflammatory production by dendritic cells (DC). Here the authors show that miR-34a targets Axl to control CD1c+ DC activity in mice, and that miR-34a-deficient mice are resistant to collagen-induced arthritis, whereas DCs from patients with rheumatoid arthritis have high levels of miR- 34a.
