Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading type of cancer worldwide and sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) has been implicated as an oncogene in various types of cancer. In the present study, SOX2 was positively associated with NSCLC stage and lymph node metastasis. Wound healing and Transwell assays demonstrated that knockdown of SOX2 inhibited A549 and H1299 cell migration. Furthermore, it was identified that knockdown of SOX2 inhibited epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of NSCLC cells, which was demonstrated by increased expression of epithelial-cadherin and decreased expression of vimentin, zinc finger protein SNAI1 and zinc finger protein SNAI2. It was then demonstrated that SOX2 may be targeted by microRNA (miR)-590-5p, which indicated a potential therapeutic strategy for NSCLC focusing on the miR-590-5p/SOX2 axis.

Downregulation of SOX2 may be targeted by miR‑590‑5p and inhibits epithelial‑to‑mesenchymal transition in non‑small‑cell lung cancer
