The Wnt signalling network regulates cell proliferation and cell differentiation as well as migration and polarity in development of multicellular organisms. However, it is still unclear how distribution of Wnt ligands is precisely controlled to fulfil all of these different functions. Here, we show that the four-pass transmembrane protein Vangl2 occupies a central role in determining the distribution of Wnt by cytonemes in vertebrate tissue. In zebrafish epiblast cells, mouse intestinal telocytes and human gastric cancer cells, activation of Vangl2 leads to the generation of fewer but extremely long cytonemes, which start to branch and deliver Wnt protein to multiple cells. The Vangl2-activated cytonemes increase Wnt/β-catenin signalling in the surrounding cells. Concordantly, inhibition of Vangl2 function leads to the formation of shorter cytonemes and reduced paracrine Wnt/β-catenin signal activation. A mathematical model simulating the observed Vangl2 functions on cytonemes in zebrafish gastrulation predicts an anterior shift of the morphogenetic signalling gradient, altered tissue patterning, and a loss of the sharpness of tissue domains. We confirmed these predictions during anteroposterior patterning in the zebrafish neural plate. In summary, we show that Vangl2 - a core member of the PCP signalling component - is fundamental to paracrine Wnt/β-catenin signalling by controlling cytoneme behaviour in vertebrate development and tissue homeostasis.
