Phosphoinositides and actin cytoskeleton cooperatively regulate cell migration and invasion by regulating protrusions called filopodia, lamellipodia , and podosomes/invadopodia.
Osteoclast fusion also involves molecular machineries that regulate cell invasion ー cell-cell fusion can be understood as cell invasion into another cell.

Fusing with osteoclasts can instigate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells.
Some cancer cells undergo the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) while others do not. We found differences in the p53 function in the epigenetic regulation of certain epithelial gene loci.
